Many of Houston’s female power players held court over brunch and bubbly at the second annual Leading Women champagne breakfast and panel discussion. Amber Elliott, Arts & Society writer, Houston Chronicle, moderated a fascinating discussion between panelists: Francine Ballard, Founder & CEO, Metagolden; Nathalie Diamantis, President & CEO Americas, Pomellato; Denise Hamilton, Professional Speaker & CEO of Watchherwork; Emily Keeton, former Global Head of M&A & Managing Director, Wework Creator Fund; and Hallie Vanderhider, Corporate Board Member. The event benefited Dress for Success Houston and gently used handbags were collected for the organization. After the event, Pomellato and Zadok, a leading jewelry store in Houston, donated a portion of proceeds from their sales to Dress for Success Houston.
