Women's Day: The Top 10 Women We Love

Shout at the top of your lungs: It’s International Women’s Day!! Hooray!

As the CEO of Nena & Co. I have the honor of mentoring and leading, but also trusting and observing the many women that work at Nena & Co. They are all so capable of accomplishing greatness. It has been my privilege to work with so many women that are intelligent, kind, and passionate. The workplace is a better one with women, not just in it but leading it. Our femininity is powerful, and it is shown with the way we lead with assertiveness, graciousness, an open mind, and love. I feel lucky that I am surrounded by the women of Nena & Co.

I often get asked what my motivation for continuing to do what I do is. The answer has changed over the years, but one thing remains the same— the connection with women has been my driving force. Initially it was to help facilitate the success of inigiounus women in Guatemala, to create a sustainable income for them. Then, I came to know and love our customers and the women of the Nena Society. I've been impressed by their ability to help one another and support complete strangers, even when it has nothing to do with Nena & Co. It has become a place of compassion and I hope it always stays that way.

I always look for mentors and people that inspire me. Here is a tribute to the women that are paving the way for the rest of us!”
