CORAL GABLES, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The inaugural S.H.E. Bacardi Women’s Summit will convene thought
provoking speakers and hundreds of women (and men) to unleash female

Aimed at celebrating, convening, and cultivating prospects and rising

discussions and keynotes will cover everything from finding your purpose
and passion to leadership and intrapreneurship to motherhood and
well-being.
“I am a true believer in not just taking what you get, but creating what
you want. My advice to women is to define who you are, your priorities,
goals, and more importantly why you want to achieve them,” says Marlene
Gordon, general counsel for Bacardi in North America and global lead for
the Bacardi Women in Leadership initiative. “Having this clarity is what
lets you fight for ideas and yourself. The S.H.E. Bacardi Women’s Summit
will help tie all of these together to empower women to do more than
they thought they could achieve.”
The event will commence with an opening from Claudia Chan and Marlene
Gordon, followed by a keynote on passion and purpose by storytelling
expert, speaker and coach Andy Henriquez. Learn and be inspired by
corporate panelists such as Bacardi President for North America Pete
Carr, CEO for Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits Wayne Chaplin, Bacardi

Groover, Morgan Stanley vice president turned founder of I.AM.You Studio
Lauren Imparato, Ryder’s Vice President of Global Product Insurance &
Risk Management Amy Wagner on motherhood, and leading parenting expert
Simon Isaacs from Father.ly.
“At S.H.E. Summit, we believe corporations are a massive vehicle for
change in today’s women’s (or gender equality) movement – both for the
internal talent they employ to the external people their products,
services and campaigns touch,” says Claudia Chan, S.H.E. Summit founder
& chief. “We are proud to work closely with Bacardi to bring the S.H.E.
(she and he help empower) experience to South Florida to strengthen our
collective social impact.”
