Women Of Influence #13: Belle Communication CEO Kate Finley

Belle Communication isn't just run by women. Its entire staff is women. Kate Finley, who founded the public relations firm in 2013, didn't necessarily set out to do that. Men have worked for the firm, and she's open to the idea and would make the necessary cultural adjustments if one joined. But there's another factor driving her as she builds her company. "I love investing in women," Finley said. "There are not enough opportunities, still, for women." In the latest episode of our Women of Influence podcast, Finley talks about how that female-dominated environment leads to a sisterly vibe, and how her team avoids the cattiness that some picture when envisioning such a group.
