Las Vegas-based Alter New Media represented Nevada’s entrepreneurial spirit at the Female Empowerment Summit – Unstoppable Together on March 4, 2025, hosted at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. Founder & CEO Nadya Rousseau moderated the panel “Leading with Purpose – Redefining Success Through Empowerment and Impact,” highlighting how values-driven leadership fuels innovation, trust, and long-term growth.
The Summit was presented under the High Patronage of Lucia Sava, Consul General of Romania in Los Angeles, and founded by Oana Tucker, the founder of OP Global Events and the ONOR Foundation, whose vision has grown the event into a cross-border platform for empowerment and collaboration. Alter New Media’s participation showcased how a Nevada-born firm is shaping national and international conversations about inclusive leadership and purpose-driven business.
