Helping to develop the next generation of female business leaders is not just a passion for Julie Winskie, Porter Novelli’s global president, clients: she sees it as a responsibility. For several years she has been involved in the Fortune/State Department Global Women’s Mentoring Partnership, as part of her participation in the Fortune Most Powerful Women’s Summit.
Winskie’s month-long mentorship of Ethnie Miller Simpson, co-managing director and founder of BRANDZ Avenue, a Kingston, Jamaica-based marketing company, is featured in a story on Forbes.com, Emerging Global Women Entrepreneurs. For Winskie, the value is not solely in the opportunity to teach but also in what she learns from these highly entrepreneurial, ambitious women.
