All of her experiences along her journey have prepared her for many of the biggest roles in her life, including being a champion and coach focused on empowering women of color in leadership. Kailei Carr is CEO of The Asbury Group, host of the Beyond the Business Suit Podcast, and Executive Director of the Information Technology Senior Management Forum (ITSMF) Emerge Women’s Academy.
