"When it comes to innovation, the risk tolerance of large incumbents is very low and many are relying on outdated models restricting their ability to truly innovate. Revisiting those models is the key to unlocking more transformational innovation that leads to the outcomes they’re after."

She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a B.S. in finance from the University of Virginia.
