Founder of Madam Chair

There is something very magical about bringing incredible women together! At the Madam Chair Wine Retreat, Penny Herscher, Karen C. Francis, and I welcomed accomplished Chairs and Leads of publicly-traded companies at Karen’s stunning Limerick Lane Cellars for days of learning, meaningful connections, delicious meals, and wine!🍷 Thank you to all our amazing attendees for making this event feel so intimate, candid, and special! I am in awe of you all (as I have been since founding Madam Chair four years ago!). I loved spending time together and am looking forward to your continued engagement with the group and each other. Thank you also to our trusted advisors, Pamela Warren, Sarah Van Dyck, and Jon Carter (Egon Zehnder), Amy Simmerman and Lisa Stimmell (Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati), Jim Golden and Tali Epstein (Collected Strategies), and Jan Koors and Susan Sandlund (Pearl Meyer) who made this event possible. Your sponsorship and thought leadership were fantastic. We appreciate all of your contributions! Onward and forward!
