On the surface, careers in finance and food service, or dentistry and jewelry, may not have much in common. But if you look beyond the career paths of the 2025 Gulfshore Business Women in Business, you’ll see they have all found the inspiration to excel in their chosen fields.
In addition to their professional success, these women have been inspired to give back to the communities they serve. Whether that contribution has come via leadership, volunteerism or mentorship, as you read the stories of these 10 remarkable women, we hope you’ll be equally inspired to make your own mark, in your own career and community.
Kathy Bigham
Bigham Jewelers
Founder, President and CEO
As the founder and president of Bigham Jewelers in Naples, Kathy Bigham has helped her clients celebrate life’s most meaningful moments for over 30 years. In addition, in an industry filled with second- and third-generation jewelers, Bigham is noteworthy as a first-generation jeweler. Though she began her career selling jewelry to help finance her college education, her dream of owning her own store began much earlier.
“I was inspired at a young age by my grade school teacher, who wore the most stunning jewelry. That early fascination turned into a lifelong passion and a career built on integrity, craftsmanship and exceptional service,” she says. “The excitement of working with beautiful pieces every day, alongside my brother and sister-in-law in this true family business, continues to drive me.”
Beyond her business success, Bigham was inducted into the Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida Business Hall of Fame in 2016. In the community, she has focused on women’s and children’s charities, including The Boys & Girls Club, Christ Child Society and The Naples Players. But Bigham said her proudest achievements are raising two successful children and creating a legacy that blends family, business and community.
Linda Goldfield
Youth Haven
CEO
Since 2021, Linda Goldfield has served as the CEO of Youth Haven, an 18.5-acre facility in Naples that provides care and support for abused, neglected and homeless children and teens, ages 6 to 21. Through more than 20 years of nonprofit experience, Goldfield’s commitment to serving vulnerable children has been rooted in a deeply personal experience.
“I am inspired every day by a childhood memory of a friend left behind by their community. That memory is why I continue to champion the needs of vulnerable children, expanding services and forging partnerships that strengthen the safety net for those who need it most,” she says. “My leadership philosophy is built on the principles of integrity, compassion and collaboration, and I believe in the transformative power of mentorship. That is what helps me fight for the well-being of children healing from trauma.”
Goldfield is a graduate of Naples Chamber Leadership Collier Class of 2022. She was honored as one of Naples Illustrated’s Naples 100 for 2024 and 2025 and recognized in Gulfshore Life’s list of Women Visionaries. Goldfield also hosts dinners on the Youth Haven campus with former foster children who are now thriving adults to provide current residents with tangible examples of success and hope.
Dr. Robyn Matonti
Matonti Dental/Affordable Dental Care
Doctor/Owner
Within a period of months in 2017-18, Dr. Robyn Matonti moved to Naples, gave birth to her first child and opened Matonti Dental. While Matonti’s family, practice and her all-female staff have grown since then, she has also focused on growing the next generation of dental professionals.
“Over the past six years, I have hired and mentored future leaders in the oral health industry. Young employees of mine were inspired and supported to go on to dental school, hygiene school and dental assistant school,” Matonti says. “In the age of Google search engine optimization, I take pride in old-fashioned word-of-mouth referrals. Continuing to build my business and mentor young women in my practice is all made possible by my patients continuing to make the decision to walk through my doors.”
In addition to her mentorship work, Matonti has volunteered her time and equipment at local health care clinics, while focusing her Affordable Dental Care practice in Fort Myers on patients who rely on insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. She has also traveled to the Dominican Republic as part of a humanitarian mission to provide dental implants and other procedures to locals in need of oral health care.
Kelly Musico
Tacos & Tequila Cantina
Founder & CEO
Kelly Musico opened the first Tacos & Tequila Cantina in south Naples in 2013. Since then, she’s added three more locations in Southwest Florida, instilled a company culture of giving back and founded the Taco Bout Community Foundation to support local nonprofit organizations.
“The best advice I ever received was to trust my instincts and the people around me. No business succeeds because of just one person. It’s about the team, the customers who support us and the community that makes it all possible,” Musico says. “That’s why giving back has always been important to me. Through the Taco Bout Community Foundation, we’ve been able to help local organizations and provide support when our community needs it most.”
While Musico has worked to establish a welcoming space for both customers and staff at each Tacos & Tequila Cantina location, she’s placed equal emphasis on community engagement. Through the Taco Bout Community Foundation, Musico has provided support for Project HELP, Golden PAWS Assistance Dogs and Naples Take a Soldier Fishing, while also leading hurricane relief efforts, Thanksgiving meal distribution and other charitable initiatives. For her leadership and dedication, Musico has been recognized both in the restaurant industry and in the community.
Jenny Namour
Panther Printing
Owner/President
For nearly 30 years, Jenny Namour has owned and operated Panther Printing. And while the company has weathered the pandemic, economic swings, hurricanes and industry changes, Namour has been unwavering in her commitment to her customers, her employees and the community.
“Much of our success is a credit to the incredible support of my loving husband and the amazing, hard-working team at Panther Printing. These people are the backbone of our success, and without that team, I would not have the freedom or ability to invest in my business or my community,” Namour says. “What drives me is being able to give back to others, in response to all the blessings I myself have received. And because of our incredible team, I am able to join several organizations with hands-on support and time, in addition to the financial resources we provide.”
As part of her investment in the community, Namour has volunteered and supported Teen Challenge, Into the Jordan, Verity, Project Outreach, Ground Up, St. Matthew’s House and other ministries and nonprofits. She has also served as a foster parent and has often worked nights and weekends to assist various nonprofit causes.
Tami Raznoff
Healthcare Network
CFO
In her role as CFO of Healthcare Network, Tami Raznoff oversees all financial operations for the organization, which provides health care services to underserved and vulnerable populations. She has also secured more than $70 million in grant funding since 2021 — while remaining focused on the people, and the community, she serves.
“I’m driven by Healthcare Network’s mission to provide quality care to individuals who might otherwise go without medical services. Last year, we served over 54,000 people through nearly 200,000 visits, regardless of their background or ability to pay,” she says. “Now, we are training the next generation of providers to do the same; focus on the person, not their circumstance. With 75% of residents continuing to practice in the same environment they were trained in, we are strengthening the future of community health care and ensuring long-term access for those who need it most.”
In addition to financial operations, Raznoff engages with local governments during crisis situations, such as hurricanes, and with community organizations to address emerging health needs. She also works to enhance the broader well-being of the community through her role as a Strategic Partner with Future Ready Collier.
Megan Rose
Better Together
CEO
After working in the state child welfare system, Megan Rose realized Florida’s vulnerable children could often be better protected by avoiding the need for foster care in the first place. Today, as CEO of Better Together, she works to build strong families and prevent the need for foster care. The goal of keeping families together, Rose said, was inspired by her own childhood.
“What drives me is the grace, love and kindness my family received in our greatest time of need, which profoundly impacted me as a child. The people we serve are the fuel behind my passion and the reason I work every day to achieve our vision: ending the foster care crisis and helping everyone reach their potential through the power of work and community,” she says. “My proudest accomplishment is growing Better Together from serving families in Naples to now reaching over 54 counties across Florida [and] keeping more than 15,000 kids out of foster care.”
In the community, Rose mobilized volunteers to deliver supplies and provide assistance to families affected by Hurricane Ian, as well as Helene and Milton. She has also helped nearly 40,000 job seekers find employment through church-based job fairs across 24 states.
Adria Starkey
FineMark National Bank & Trust
Executive Vice President and President, Collier County
Boasting three decades of experience in financial services, Adria Starkey an executive vice president and president for the Collier County region for FineMark National Bank & Trust. While she plays a crucial role in steering the bank toward success, she credits her own success to two simple things.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been guided by two core principles: a commitment to lifelong learning and the self-discipline to continually improve. I am passionate about helping others reach their full potential, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work with the best team I’ve ever had,” Starkey says. “Integrity has always been a cornerstone of my success; doing what you say you’re going to do, and if you can’t, being honest about it.”
Starkey’s leadership also extends to the community. She is a Lifetime Trustee of the Naples Children and Education Foundation and an Emeritus Trustee of The Shelter for Abused Women and Children. She currently serves on the Florida Prepaid College Board, acts as the chair of the Advisory Board for the School of Entrepreneurship at Florida Gulf Coast University and is a member of the Healthcare Network’s Development and Community Awareness Committee. Starkey also leads an initiative to mentor and educate women in finance.
Aysegul Timur, Ph.D.
Florida Gulf Coast University
University President
Selected as the fifth president of Florida Gulf Coast University in 2023, Aysegul Timur coordinates the strategic direction of the university and its more than 16,000 students. A native of Turkey, she is also the first woman and first immigrant to lead the university. And that is the culmination of a journey that began 26 years ago.
“My husband and I moved to Southwest Florida, learned a new language and culture and raised our children while I was working and commuting full-time to Tampa to earn my doctorate. I could not have done it without a strong support system of family, friends, colleagues and community,” Timur says. “They are the people who I have leaned on throughout my life’s journey; the colleagues I work alongside, my mentors, the leaders who coached me over the years and, most importantly, the Southwest Florida community that welcomed me and my family 26 years ago and adopted me as one of their own.”
Away from FGCU, Timur is chair of the Collaboratory board of trustees, sits on the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors and is a member of the International Women’s Forum’s Florida Suncoast board of directors and the Florida Chamber Foundation’s board of trustees.
Anjali Van Drie, MA, LCSW, BCBA
Family Initiative Inc.
Co-Founder & Vice President
Anjali Van Drie is the co-founder and vice president of Family Initiative, a Cape Coral nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children, adolescents and young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD. She oversees the strategic direction and day-to-day operations of the organization, and said the people she serves are her driving force.
“My inspiration and drive are part of my every day. We started the organization almost 10 years ago because of very specific children we worked with who were not included, accepted or understood. I get to work with so many amazing and talented people, both on our team and the families we serve,” Van Drie says. “The kids are my inspiration. They keep me humble, they keep me motivated, and they keep a smile on my face every single day.”
Van Drie’s leadership also helped establish Thrive Academy, Florida’s first middle and high school for children diagnosed with ASD. A nationally noted autism clinician and active member of the Florida Association of Behavioral Analysis, she was recognized for her contributions to the field by receiving that organization’s Charles Kimber Public Service Award for her community service and advancement of behavioral analysis.
