Business Social – March 14
Mariame McIntosh Robinson, global financial services leader, delivers a powerful message urging women to let go of the belief that they must be “fully ready” before seizing opportunities and instead take charge, seek mentorship, ask for feedback, and step forward with confidence.

Business Social – March 14

The Business Social this week follows up with Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS), which hosted an International Women’s Day (IWD) event at S Hotel Kingston under the theme ‘Accelerate Action: Do It Already!’. The event featured a wide range of women speakers — from Lisa Hanna, Member of Parliament (MP) for St Ann South Eastern, and Mariame McIntosh Robinson, a global financial services leader. The event was designed to empower women to take decisive action in both their personal and professional lives, with a focus on leadership, resilience, and breaking barriers. Here are the highlights:

Lisa Hanna, Member of Parliament for Saint Ann South Eastern and former minister of youth and culture, emphasised the importance of education, discernment, and precise action, noting that acceleration is about strategy and well-calculated moves for sustainable success.

Maxine Faulkner, JPS executive assistant to the president and CEO, looked radiant in a beautiful patterned dress.

Yvonne Wilks O’Grady (left), RJRGleaner Group corporate affairs consultant, and Winsome Callum, JPS’s director of corporate communications, share a moment at JPS’s International Women’s Day 2025 event, celebrating the power of women supporting women.

Rochelle Cameron (left), CEO of Prescient Consulting Services and attorney-at-law, and Alveta Knight, Bahamian first consul general for Jamaica, are looking quite stylish at JPS’s International Women’s Day 2025 event.

(From left) Sheryl Morris, JPS corporate planner; Ruthlyn Johnson, JPS customer service area manager east; and Rochelle Johnson, World Bank energy specialist, came together for a quick snapshot. .
