MICHELA AS A LEADER
Be radically open-minded and embrace new methodologies; the most unconventional approaches often lead to the best outcomes.
Leadership is not authoritarian.
Great leaders embrace ongoing experimentation.
The future of leadership is inclusive.
When I think of a leader, I think of Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and Ray Dalio.
TODAY’S FEMALE LEADERS ARE UNAFRAID TO CHALLENGE NORMS. BY BLENDING AMBITION WITH WORK ETHIC, ANYTHING IS ACHIEVABLE.

MICHELA ON EMPOWERING WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY AND FINANCE
Michela is a fervent advocate for women's empowerment in the tech sector. She has led over 60 online webinars and established the London Women in Web3 community, which boasts over 350 members. Her initiatives focus on educating women about the vast opportunities within Web3 technology and equipping them with the skills needed to excel in this rapidly evolving field. By fostering a supportive and educational environment, Michela is paving the way for more women to take on leadership roles in technology. Fear not the unfamiliar but rather the stagnation from avoiding new approaches. Any leader avoiding experimentation breeds complacency.
MICHELA ON EMBRACING RADICAL TRANSPARENCY AND OPEN COMMUNICATION
Cultivate a corporate environment that values experimentation. At Binance, we are all about this. Those creative experiments should be based on data and calculated risks, not emotions. We're also all about radical transparency -which propels our rapid growth. We nurture a culture where open-minded experimentation and honest feedback are part of our daily routine.
TO BE A BETTER LEADER, EMBRACE EXPERIMENTATION, RADIATE FRESH ENERGY, AND LEAD AUTHENTICALLY. DON’T SHY AWAY FROM BREAKING THE MOULD.
