How did the people you've met —mentors, friends, or experiences— help you realize what kind of business or nonprofit you wanted to create, Ms. CEO? #Spring25
I'm passionate about launching both a business and a nonprofit foundation to create student internships and build an endowment that supports students like me as my long (long) term career goals. I want to give back to communities that have invested in me. But I'm still figuring out how to invent a product or service that makes an impact. How do you come up with a meaningful idea and identify your target audience? This summer, I’ll be traveling to Vietnam, Japan, and interning in Korea for 6 weeks to study K-beauty marketing and business. I'm especially driven to make financial literacy more accessible to marginalized communities.
How can I make a difference within the product development field?
I'm going to college this fall to major in food science, and I'm excited! But I'm also apprehensive about the impact I can make. The food industry in America needs a lot of help, and I want to work towards bettering our methods, ingredients, and packaging, for example, banning the use of unnatural food dyes. How can I make a difference when so much needs to be done, but I'm just one person? #Spring25
How do I break into a new industry?
I've been working for 20 years since I graduated from college -- 17 years at a nonprofit research institute and then the last 3 years at a large U.S. bank. My focus has been on identifying, selling/pitching, evaluating and experimenting with innovative ideas in a brought range of areas -- new research approaches, novel data science (eg, AI/ML) use cases, ways to use emerging tech to make core lines of business faster/cheaper/better, and new products & services. I left both of the last organizations when my leadership changed and there was no longer an interest in investing in more exploratory innovation (horizon 2 or 3). I see lots of companies that are investing in this type of innovation, but not many in the industries in which I have experience. How can I get the attention of recruiters and higher managers and convince them that my skillset is very transferable?
How does one keep brainstorming innovating ideas?
This is just a general thing. It could be something related to life or career.
