“Earlier this month, I completed the Women on Boards: Building Exceptional Leaders program directed by Mae McDonnell. The Wharton faculty and guest presenters were superb, including several Wharton alumnae currently serving on corporate boards who took time to share their experiences.

I stepped down after an extraordinary three years in state government service last October to build an advisory practice and pursue corporate experience through a board director role. With this program under my belt, I feel energized and well-prepared for the work ahead — and confident that the judgment I’ve built and perspective I’ve gained over ~30 years in government and nonprofit leadership will add real value to the right corporate board.”
