Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A. gathered more than 125 women leaders and attorneys during the firm’s 2023 Women’s Business Forum for a day of empowering discussions on key issues impacting women in business and the many contributions of working women. With a theme of “Lift Women. Lift Humanity,” the Sept. 29 event at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort also featured an interactive session with Girls Inc. that focused on encouraging elementary school girls to strive for success.

Caroline O’Connor, president of business operations for the Miami Marlins, was recognized with the Diana P. Scott Integrity in Action Award, dedicated in memory of former Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Diana P. Scott, an early leader in the firm’s Women’s Initiative. After the award was presented by Nikki Lewis Simon, senior vice president and Greenberg Traurig’s chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion officer, O’Connor sat down for a fireside chat with McClatchy Vice President Monica Richardson to discuss her career and community impact.

“The door was open for us, and we want to make sure the door stays open for other women,” “We really look at our role as an opportunity to inspire others and tell our story.”
