On Friday, August 25th, Christina (Anderson) Jones, VP HR Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for Shell USA, Inc., was awarded as an honoree at the Top 30 Influential Women of Houston’s 10th annual gala. This event, hosted by Keith J. Davis, Sr (aka Mr. D-MARS), CEO Vaskey Media Group, “recognizes deserving women who are successes in their professions and who possess a servant-spirit. Being selfless is something one cannot forget on the path to success, and this year’s honorees are shining examples of that.” Mr D-Mars also highlights that “the top 30 women come from different backgrounds, share different beliefs and have overcome different obstacles, but their common denominator is their undeniable quest for success and passion to mentor the next generation of leaders.”
Mrs. Jones was celebrated at the ceremony by her husband, son and many members of her department at Shell.
