Five in Focus Atlantic Directors

A year ago, the Five in Focus Atlantic initiative was announced by Women in View. Seven months later the participants received mentorship, got to pitch to industry decision makers and build relationships that helped advance their careers. So proud of Stephanie Clattenburg, Harmony Wagner, Koumbie, Gia Milani and Martine Blue. You definitely haven't seen the last of them!
