WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP
Since 2016, thousands of women have participated in the Women in Leadership program throughout Hard Rock's U.S. properties. In 2024, the program was expanded to include Canada and the United Kingdom. Through the program’s mentoring relationships, networking events, and multiple education workshops to include Finance Literacy, Public Speaking, Effective Communication, Brand Reputation, and more, women and men within the company are being prepared for upward mobility opportunities. Founders Tracy Bradford and Meaghan Ryan have advanced education, mentorship, and networking opportunities for Team Members throughout the enterprise.
Women in Leadership provides a unique opportunity to participate in the evolution of your peers while at the same time evolving and learning from them. Women in Leadership has inspired me over the last three years to continue my growth and leadership journey and has provided me with invaluable relationships.
Candice Pinares-Baez
Vice President of Legal Affairs, Hard Rock International
The mentorship of the program has helped me connect with other women and let me share experiences. Connecting with a mentor helps me see various viewpoints across the company, beyond just my department. I have gained valuable allies that will stand the test of time.
