Focusing on Female Entrepreneurship
Ms. Mehta commented, “In what are still challenging times for women, it’s inspirational to hear these stories of obstacles overcome and dreams realized.”
OPI Co-Founder Suzi Weiss-Fischmann advised attendees to blend imagination and discipline into their business plans. “Beauty is serious business,” she said. “What other business brings joy and delight to customers every day?” She reminded all those present: “Nails are the smallest canvas on which you can create your own art, your personal expression.”
Briogeo Founder and CEO Nancy Twine started her career in finance. Ultimately she looked closer to home to create her dream: a line of all-natural, inclusive hair care products. “I was inspired by powerful women, including my mother, to create Briogeo,” she said. “I am happy to pass on some of that inspiration to other women.”
Eva Graham, founder of the hair thinning innovator Nioxin, had a last-minute conflict that prevented her attendance. In advance of the event, she shared, “When I founded Nioxin, there were no solutions for fine and thinning hair like mine, so I had to create them. I want other women to understand how important it is to trust your own knowledge and instincts when you build a business.” She also shared one of her favorite thoughts. “God never gives you a dream without giving you the ability to achieve it. Never give up.”
