Why we exist

Companies have spent years trying to
close the gender gap. Something still isn't working.

+50%

of mothers change their career path after maternity in Spain

84%

of care-related leave is still requested by women

6.4%

of GDP: estimated cost of the gender gap in work–life balance

The problem isn't a lack of policies

Most companies already have an equality plan. They apply paternity leave, and run flexibility, empowerment, female-talent and female-leadership programmes.

They've done their homework. And still, the needle doesn't move.

There's a moment in the female talent cycle that no one is supporting: maternity. Women don't leave all at once — they disengage, become invisible, slow down. And when they finally leave, it's recorded as a personal decision.

That's the moment where Mom's in Co. steps in.

What we see in organisations

Paternity leave is taken, but it doesn't change the maternal experience or the culture
Managers have no tools to support a mother's re-onboarding
Attrition doesn't show up in offboarding — it's masked as a personal decision
There are no maternity-moment metrics linked to the Equality Plan
Without data, there's no case to justify the investment to leadership

The team

Real experience in real organisations

Agustina Palmieri

Founder & CEO

18 years leading culture, engagement, HR and D&I in global organisations. From the inside she identified the pattern: companies were applying the benchmark — equality plans, female-leadership programmes, flexibility — and female talent still wasn't reaching leadership positions in the expected proportion. Maternity was the unsupported link.
