Lila A. Jaber, regional managing shareholder at Gunster, was profiled recently in Florida Trend magazine.
The profile outlines her background, from her small-business roots to the Florida Public Service Commission, and ultimately, to Gunster. Along the way, she's dedicated her management skills to roles at Workforce Florida and Leadership Florida, and in support of women in leadership.
In 2015, Jaber founded Florida's Women in Energy, a leadership forum designed to inform, inspire and connect women to jobs in Florida's energy industry.
Jaber leads Gunster's government affairs law and lobbying practice, and oversees activity in the firm's Tallahassee, Tampa and Orlando offices.
