Drexel Women in Business Annual May Tea

The 2026 Drexel Women in Business May Tea presents an inspiring evening celebrating the power of resilience in the professional journey. Throughout the evening, three accomplished professionals will share candid stories from their careers—moments of challenge, perseverance and the lessons that shaped their success.

Featured Speakers:

  • Joanne Morreale, managing director, Apollo Global Management, Inc.
  • Reena Parekh, head of Data, Identity and Access Management, TikTok USDS Joint Venture
  • Shefali Sharma ’12, founder, Protégé Advising LLC, and adjunct professor, Drexel University

Following the program, students and alumni will have the opportunity to connect, exchange ideas and build meaningful professional relationships.

This year’s program is sponsored by the Judith von Seledeck Speaker Series at the LeBow College of Business. The series was founded by Judith von Seldeneck, founder and chair emerita of DSG Global and Drexel University’s 66th Business Leader of the Year, and brings together thought leaders for dynamic conversations highlighting women in leadership and exploring key concepts critical to effectively leading in today’s business world.

Whether you’re just beginning your career or looking to grow your network, this event offers a chance to learn from powerful stories and strengthen the community of women in business.

Kindly RSVP by Friday, May 15, 2026.
