What did 40 Under Forty mean to you? It both humbled and propelled me further in my professional journey.
What advice do you have for this year’s winners? To my fellow women and leaders of color: It is critically important you lift other women and individuals of color as you climb, always be present in your role and take your rightful seat at the table.
