In the session on “Building Relationships with Intention and Value,” Ann and other Kellogg alumni across industries will discuss how Investing in relationships throughout a career, and expanding networks as responsibilities increase, is an important support pillar for bigger career moves and broader perspective sharing.

Ann speaks from the perspective of building relationships throughout her career, from a childhood connection with Hillary Clinton to founding the women’s leadership organization AWESOME (Achieving Women’s Excellence in Supply Chain Operations, Management and Education) and being a charter member of Paradigm for Parity, a coalition of business leaders working for gender parity.
