The Wall Street Hotel hosted a panel of powerful female titans of the industry for a morning conversation, moderated by Katherine Finnerty, a Deputy Editor at The Wall Street Journal. The panelists discussed a variety of topics, sharing struggles and triumphs alike. The conversation ranged from the importance of unyielding bravery and curating your personal network and community. The panel was aligned on the concept of taking big risks and the ever-important first step. “You don’t have to go into anything being clear about what’s going to happen,” said Nicole Eckels, Co-founder & CEO of Glasshouse Fragrances during the panel “you just have to start and you’ll find your way through it.”

Prior to the insightful conversation, attendees were treated to light bites and a mimosa bar, while mingling with fellow New Yorkers. The winding roads and skyscrapers of the Financial District provided a beautiful backdrop to the event on the 15th floor of the hotel. Upon departure, guests received gift sets from Glasshouse Fragrances. This event was part of a series of programming developed for National Women’s History Month at The Wall Street Hotel.

Noteable attendees included Katherine Finnerty, Julie Reiner, Marie Kouadio Amouzame, Nicole Eckels, Rebecca Parekh, Tiffany Townsend, Sara Duffy, Mallory Hytes Hagan and more.
