Guess Who Just Leveled up? I'm Beyond Proud To Be The Newest Member of Women President's Organization!

Ann Lopez, CEO & Founder of Studio 790 Interior Design

There are moments in business that feel less like a milestone and more like a launchpad. This is one of them.

BIG NEWS! I'm proud to announce that I’m officially a member of the Women Presidents Organization (WPO), an elite membership group for women leaders of privately held companies who are scaling, innovating, and creating lasting impact. Think powerhouse CEOs, presidents, and partners who aren’t just running businesses, they’re building legacies.

And now? Studio 790 Interior Design is in the room. Is this real life?!

Proof of What We’ve Built

WPO is an invite-only community for women steering their own companies at a high level. It’s not a casual networking group, it’s a validation of the vision, grit, and leadership it takes to build something sustainable.

Peer-Powered Growth

WPO is not a networking brunch with mimosas, small talk or surface-level connections. It’s professionally facilitated peer learning groups, monthly masterminds with non-competing women who get it. No filters. No fluff. Just raw strategy, shared wisdom, and support in a safe, confidential space.

Returns That Speak for Themselves

WPO members consistently say the same thing: this organization helps them make smarter decisions, manage challenges with more clarity, and collaborate in ways that push their businesses forward. The average WPO member company brings in $16.2 million in revenue and has 109 employees. That’s the kind of company I want Studio 790 to keep learning alongside.

And the stats don’t lie:

• 82% of members say WPO helps them manage critical business concerns.

• 71% do business with each other, sparking growth and collaboration.

Education That Elevates

Membership doesn’t stop at roundtables. It comes with exclusive executive education, webinars, retreats, forums like the Entrepreneurial Excellence Forum, plus access to Harvard Manage Mentor Spark (18,500+ articles, 1,500+ podcasts, case studies, and more).

This is about sharpening skills, not just stacking connections.

You're Not Alone Anymore

As WPO CEO Camille Burns puts it:

“Women don’t realize they need the WPO until after they join… it gives you a safe space to talk business and get validation that your success is earned.”

And honestly? That’s it. Entrepreneurship can feel isolating and it doesn't have to be. This is the antidote. So if you are in need of a community and support, let this be your sign to find the group or sign up for that membership.

My Take

Joining WPO isn’t about recognition, it’s about elevation. It means I get to sharpen the Studio 790 edge with peer brilliance, global perspective, and no-B.S. strategy. And that fires me up!

So, what’s next? Bigger dreams, bolder moves, and a stronger community standing beside me.

Because you’re never too successful to need a smarter village.
