Leila Stansfield, VP of Global Strategy for the world’s largest spirits company in the world, is also responsible for promoting a diverse and inclusive environment, one that reflects the communities the Bacardi operates in.

As female leaders continue to break down barriers in the face of adversity, Bacardi is giving them a platform to share their voice.

Bacardi will bring together trailblazers supporting women’s empowerment and inclusivity and who are leading conversations about gender equality and self-acceptance at the 2019 Spirit Forward Summit Miami.

Dedicated to championing the outstanding individuals in the hospitality industry and beyond, the Second Annual Bacardi Spirit Forward Women Empowerment Series, in partnership with PUNCH, wrapped up its 2019 season. Exploring timely topics such as representation, innovation, and disrupting the status quo, all through the lens of “originality,” the series featured a diverse group of voices from both inside and outside the hospitality world. Attendees from all parts of the bar, trade and media communities were treated to inspiring Q&A panels, professional workshops, engaging seminars, networking opportunities, in-depth discussions and more as the series traveled to Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
