ALEX SINK
One of the first female executives in banking, Alex Sink culminated her private-sector career as president of Florida's largest bank. Then, as Florida's Chief Financial Officer, she was the first woman to oversee the Department of Financial Services with 2,000 employees and a budget of $200 million. In 2010, in one of the closest races in election history, she came within 60,000 votes of becoming our first female governor. Her new career passion: helping tech startups grow and prosper as an adviser for Tampa's Hyde Park Capital, founder of the nonprofit Florida Next Foundation and as chair of the nonprofit Tampa Bay Wave which helps entrepreneurs build, launch, and grow breakout tech businesses.
Women United unites influential women from beaches to boardrooms and from academia to the arts. We come alongside women to support further education needs for women and children to allow this generation and the next to successfully reach their full potential.
