Our People

BUILT BY WOMEN WHO BELIEVE VISIBILITY CHANGES THINGS.

Kalicoo is shaped by women who have built businesses, communities and careers across technology - and who believe exceptional women should be easier to find, connect with and champion.

The founders

It started with two colleagues.

Kalicoo began with a shared frustration: exceptional women were everywhere across emerging technology, but there was no single place making their expertise visible. Patricia Haueiss and Josephine Dayco created Kalicoo to change that.
