“There is no doubt that female business leaders are key drivers in shaping our state’s economy in all sectors, ranging from hospitals, construction companies, law firms, universities, retailers, travel and transportation companies, to biotech firms,” said Globe Magazine editor Veronica Chao. “It’s a clear indicator of the diversity of achievements by women in this state, and sends an important message to the next generation of female professionals about what is possible.”
Today’s breakfast featured welcoming remarks by Linda Pizzuti Henry, managing director at the Globe, who addressed the honorees, noting the importance of recognizing their impact on our economy and increasing the visibility of female business leaders to ensure that their numbers grow.
