1GROUNDBREAKERS WOMEN IN LEADERSHIPA TOIGO INSTITUTE SUMMIT
Welcome to Toigo’s third annual Toigo Groundbreaker’s Summit—a unique investment conference where the investment is in you, your professional growth and achievement.
Based upon the success of the past two years, we’re continuing our focus on timely topics that surround women in leadership. We are presenting sessions on managing risk, effective networking and courageous leadership, to name a few. You’ll hear from industry leaders, noted academics, best-selling authors as well as our own Toigo Alumnae and have opportunity to engage in lively luncheon discussion on key topics which carry throughout the day’s program.
The Groundbreakers Summit reflects Toigo’s mission to promote opportunities to under-represented and unidentified talent. Our goal is to foster conversations that transcend industry lines—an important element of leadership in today’s environment.
On behalf of the Pioneers of Progress event committee and the outstanding women who serve on the Toigo Board of Directors, I thank our many corporate supporters and the many non-profit organizations that helped promote Groundbreakers to their members.

Women in the Lead | Introduction Sheri BronsteinSenior Vice President - Human Resources | Bank of AmericaToigo Foundation Governing Board Member
Women in the LeadStrength of character and convictions, valued relationships and respect for others is what individuals seek in great leaders. Whether its in the boardroom, classroom or on Capitol Hill, flexibility and the ability to listen, learn and build consensus are key ingredients for driving change and getting things done. In our 2013 In The Lead session, we’ll explore these and other core qualities of great leadership--and how these qualities closely align with the way women think. Then, we’ll meet two remarkable women--each on a different path to leadership, each with different lessons and perspectives that will inspire you and prompt you to examine how you navigate your own leadership challenges.

Building on her experiences as the founding Corporate Director for the Heroic Imagination Project, she combines social and cognitive psychology and a strategic focus with a passion for leadership, empowerment, collaboration, and social and environmental justice.
Have you ever wondered why so many seemingly good, smart people can do such unwise or unethical things under pressure? And it’s not just out there somewhere, in the flood of corporate scandals. It’s right here, when you or I didn’t speak up in a meeting when something needed to be said, or acted in a way that didn’t make us proud later. We’re all vulnerable to situational pressure, and we’re all capable of making bad choices that can have enormous consequences.

Jai Jai Ramsey Greenfield is not a beer drinker, but don’t hold that against her. She has taken the one beverage she likes and turned it into a $1.5 million dollar business. Seven years ago, she left her trading post at Morgan Stanley to found one of the first wine boutiques in Upper Manhattan. Called Harlem Vintage, it led the entrepreneurial rebirth in the historic neighborhood. Edible Manhattan called Jai Jai Greenfield an entrepreneur “thinking outside the jug”, while the Wall Street Journal cited her as one of “Harlem’s new entrepreneurs providing a template for blacks in other cities”.
Jai Jai distinguishes herself with a keen sense for noticing a need and providing a solution. While consulting with Vino Volo, a firm that develops high-end wine bars in airports, she noticed the lack of wine bars in her Harlem neighborhood. Building on the success of Harlem Vintage, she opened Nectar Wine Bar next door in April 2008. It was soon selected by Time Out Magazine as one of the best new wine bars in New York City. Though both businesses have closed, Jai Jai continues her work in the wine industry focusing on sales and marketing for an importer / distributor.
