Former Goldman Sachs partner turned VC, Colleen Foster hosted a mix of WIE Suite members and guests for a power lunch at her home in the Hamptons this month.For the discussion portion, Colleen kicked things off by asking one of the guests, a high ranking woman in finance, how current government policies were affecting global markets. This opened up a powerful group discussion about equity and inclusion and how brands were either holding their ground or pulling back, and where the future lay. The group also delved into investing in female founders, revenue growth tactics, trends in influencer marketing and so much more.It was a brilliant room, filled with incredible talent, perspective and deep domain expertise. Everyone walked away buzzing with fresh insights, new ideas, and connections that will no doubt continue to spark long after the gathering ended.
Empire Global Ventures, CEO Alexandra Stanton, hosted an exclusive experience at the Parrish Art Museum. As the museum's Collector and Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees, Alexandra treated guests to a VIP curator-led tour that included the powerful work of Iranian photographer and visual artist Shirin Neshat. The tour was followed by cocktails and cultural conversation at her home.
