Jewish Women in Business: A Fireside Chat
September 23, 2026 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Register Some of the best career advice doesn't come from a panel. It comes from a real conversation, the kind where someone tells you what actually happened, not just the highlight reel.
That's the spirit behind this Fireside Chat. We're bringing together graduate students and young professionals from across NYC for an evening of candid conversation with four women who've built serious careers across finance, biotech, and brand, and who are ready to talk honestly about how they got there.
Come for the conversation. Stay for the sushi, open bar, and connections.
Featuring:
- Zoya Raynes, Managing Director, Strategic Relationship Management
- Holly Newman Kroft, Senior Wealth Advisor, Neuberger Wealth
- Julie Rubinstein, President and COO, Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp.
- Risa Aronson, Vice President of Brand Partnerships, People Inc.
Wednesday, September 23
Midtown Location
7:00 pm — Open bar and sushi
7:30 pm — Executive session
8:00 pm — Dessert
Come hungry, come with questions, and come ready to make some real connections. This is a room full of people who get it: the pressure, the pivots, the "wait, how do I even ask for a raise" moments.
Space is limited, so grab your spot now.
