2024 Prestigious Women Awards Honoree: Tiffany Gonzalez

Meet Tiffany Gonzalez, Founder of Balloons Galore and More LLC

Tiffany Gonzalez, a Florida native, is the creative mind behind Balloons Galore and More. The business specializes in adding a pop of charm to events to make them more memorable. Balloons Galore and More caters to many events, from baby and bridal showers to grand openings and corporate events. What started as a side hustle for Gonzalez has become a full-time business, serving all counties from Miami-Dade to West Palm Beach. For many years, Gonzalez was the go-to person in her family when planning and decorating for parties. When her mother’s birthday came, she wanted to experiment with something fresh and innovative. After researching YouTube, Gonzalez discovered that balloon garland displays were in high demand. She successfully created her first balloon display and realized that she had found their true calling. “What an honor it is to be in a room full of successful, hardworking, dedicated women. As an entrepreneur, I never thought I’d be standing here today, let alone be an honoree. Thankful for the connections I’ve made throughout the years of my entrepreneurship journey. My favorite quote in this journey is, ‘If you have a dream, chase it because a dream won’t chase you back!’”

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
