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.
Founder and CEO of Landit, Lisa Skeete Tatum, opened up her home in Martha's Vineyard to several WIE Suite members and guests. The group discussed finding joy in the now, legacy and future impact and how Martha’s Vineyard was providing an environment for our children to move comfortably in a space where they were surrounded by possibilities and didn’t feel ‘othered.'
