How has globalization affected the direction of your company? Globalization has positively affected my company in many ways. For example, I design our handbags here in Atlanta and some of them are made in Nigeria with a unique fabric handwoven specially for us by women in Nigeria.

How would you describe your leadership style? I would say I am a servant leader. I truly believe that the most effective leaders are those that serve others and push others to greater heights, and that's what I strive to do every day.
How do you get others to accept your ideas? By empowering others to state their ideas, listening to my team, and being open to change.
What has been the most effective style of leadership that's worked for you and your team? I would say being an inclusive leader instead of one that dictates.
