Last October, the Business Journal honored five women business leaders from diverse industries at the 28th annual Women in Business Awards.
The event recognized outstanding professional women who have made significant contributions to their organizations, their professions and the Orange County community.
Their backgrounds and industries are varied—from the operations lead of Orange County’s top jeweler to one of Newport Beach’s top specialty hospital executives—but all remained resilient throughout the pandemic and have kept their respective firms in growth mode during the challenging economic environment that followed.
The Business Journal recently caught up with the five winners to see just how they’re managing this as their worlds have changed in the past year.
The next Women in Business Awards is scheduled for Oct. 5 at the Irvine Marriott.
Aimee Weisner, an independent board member for three public medical companies including Aliso Viejo-based device and drug maker Glaukos Corp. (NYSE: GKOS), is the keynote speaker.
