She is a board director for Publicis Groupe, an advisory board member for OpenClassrooms and serves on the non-profit boards of CareerWise USA, Research Improving People’s Lives and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

She brings to her work valuable experience and insights into the inner workings of government agencies, human capital retention and developing the workforce of the future.
In the public sector, she served as U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, commissioner for Washington State’s Employment Security Department, and acting assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.
