A Night to Remember: This Intimate Dinner Celebrated the Women Who Are Leading the Way
Edmundson is defining the future of luxury travel by putting women first as she oversees all aspects of Marriott International’s portfolio of luxury brands, including The Ritz-Carlton, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, Edition, The Luxury Collection, JW Marriott and W Hotels. As Barry said that evening: “Charm creates spaces where women can be seen, celebrated and supported. Marriott, through Tina’s visionary leadership, is creating spaces for women to belong.
The conversation that continued at one of New York’s most exclusive tables was electric and meaningful, and touched on themes that are the building blocks of both Charm and Marriott: Brotherhood, Community and Leading the Way for the Next Generation. Guests were encouraged to “talk to someone new” and share not only their stories, but also their boldest ambitions.
Among those seated at the dinner, prepared by Michelin-starred chef John Fraser, were a range of notable female founders, as well as industry leaders in fashion, media, activism and business. (To name a few: award-winning journalist Gayle King, actor Joy Sunday, Herve Leger creative director Michelle Ochs, entrepreneur Olivia Palermo, Sotheby’s CCO Karina Sokolovsky, and Emily Essner, president and COO of Saks Global.) Each brought a unique perspective to the table, for a dinner as diverse as it is dynamic.
