The Wing co-founder breaks boundaries as first visibly pregnant CEO on 'iconic' magazine cover

Inc. magazine is receiving a high level of praise after releasing its Female Founders issue on Wednesday featuring a visibly pregnant CEO — the very first to grace the cover of a business publication.

— Audrey Gelman September 18, 2019 “You can’t be what you can’t see, so I think it’s so important for women to see that it’s possible to run a fast growing business and also to start a family,” Gelman told TODAY. “It’s so important to sort of burst that bubble and to have new images of women who are thriving and working professionally while balancing motherhood.”

Now she’s being praised by people beyond those at her company who are thrilled about her groundbreaking appearance on Inc.’s cover — while, of course, remaining in disbelief that the image is the first of its kind. — Emilie Mazzacurati September 18, 2019 Isn’t it *INSANE* that a pregnant CEO has NEVER been on a business magazine cover?! Big up to @Inc for this baby step and hey, next time publishers it can be just a routine cover, ok? Not a special for Female Founders only. Let’s normalise this. We all come from pregnancy ffs✊ https://t.co/WlNiauIIPW
