The chance encounter between Leisa Gibson and Melba Lagadou at the Sonia Noel-staged Women in Business forum at the Pegasus Hotel in 2015 is now paying dividends for the two Guyanese businesswomen beyond anything that they might have expected when they first met each other.
Both had decided to participate in the event in order to determine whether there was anything that they could take away from being there that might add value to their respective enterprises. They both found what, since then, has been not just a close friendship but also a sense of trust in each other, more than enough to cause them to venture into a business partnership.
