Happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Business Leadership from McKinsey & Company!

One of the highlights of my work is getting to help great people do good in the world, and that's exactly what our latest class of Techstars Impact Powered by Cox Enterprises startups is setting out to do. Check out (and maybe become customers of!) this year's cool companies as they help solve challenges for underrepresented groups, underserved communities, and environmental sustainability. 1.

How it started vs how it’s going. Incredibly excited to have graduated with my Fuqua EMBA today and beyond grateful to my husband, my family, Duke classmates and coworkers/employers for these past two years. It takes a village and family - the kind you’re born with and the kind you pick up along the way - is everything. Congratulations class of 2022! #duke #fuqua #wemba22 #mba #graduate
