Gwyneth Paltrow happily sits down to take part in a panel discussion while hosting the JVP International Cyber Center Grand Opening on Monday evening (February 3) in New York City.
The Oscar-winning actress and goop founder joined JVP founder and chairman, Erel Margalit, and senior figures from New York City’s business, technology, investment, and diplomatic scene to celebrate the grand opening.
The initiative is headed by leading international venture capital firm Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP), in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office and the Economic Development Corporation of New York (NYCEDC). The flagship Cyber Center, created through a unique partnership between local government, the private sector and academia, is set to give rise to a new international cybersecurity capital.
In their discussion, Gwyneth and Mr. Margalit spoke about a range of topics including the developing role of women in industry, the important role of cybersecurity technologies in protecting societies and individuals, and speaking up for the #MeToo movement.
“The whole movement has been very important for all of us, for women to come forward and talk about what they have been through, and to create boundaries in the workplace,” Gwyneth expressed. “At the time I didn’t know if speaking up would make a difference, but I have a daughter and for all my friends’ daughters, I felt it was time for these issues to come to the foreground. What I found especially, was that so many good men started to take inventory of their professional lives, considering if they had ever done anything or said anything untoward, and that was a very interesting by-product of the conversation.”
“I feel very heartened that the world is heading in the right direction, and that when my daughter enters the workforce it will look very different than it did for me in 1992,” Gwyneth concluded on the subject.
