Four years ago, serial entrepreneur Liri Halperin Segal, Co-Founder and CEO at LeO, co-founded Parliament51 together with Daniel Ofek. The organization aims to help women reach C-level positions in the workplace by providing practical tools for executives. “At insurance for example, 60% of the workforce in the U.S. is female. However, there are very few that have reached C-level. This is where organizations need to push and we educate them on how to do it.”

Parliament51 has partnered with large organizations such as HP and Salesforce. “We were invited to speak at the UN and our next event is speaking at the U.S. Congress on Women’s Day 2023,” Halperin Segal says with excitement.

Halperin Segal founded her first startup, Dealiri, at the age of 24, following a short period as a journalist covering the startup scene. “I decided to open my first startup which was a recommendation site for DIY (do it yourself) projects. I began selling kits as I saw there was a need and I ended up selling more than I thought I would.” Soon the company turned into a startup. “I added two co-founders, expanded abroad and became Take & Make – a DIY platform creating kits for thought leaders and YouTubers. Today the company is called Outgage, an offline/online gifting platform and it’s doing great.”
