Few people have the opportunity to report to a CEO who has dedicated her career to women’s entrepreneurship—but I did when I worked for Roxanne Joyal, CEO of ME to WE.

Witnessing her dedication to empowering women, both in our office and around the globe has shaped my life—professionally and personally. Roxanne taught me to seek out different opinions, and to trust my own; to face challenges with an enormous heart; always be curious and lead with a desire to learn and be better.

Roxanne’s work with the ME to WE Artisans program is a testament to her desire to create women-empowered workplaces. She has tirelessly dedicated her career to elevating those around her, and am honored to have had the opportunity to work alongside her.
