Part 1: Two Recent Wharton School of Business Grads Discuss Resilience and Ambition
Brittney Cummins, a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and former mechanical engineer, and Megan Duley, a Major in the United States Army Reserve and entrepreneur, set off on two completely different tracks before crossing paths at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. After spending years working in the energy sector (Brittney) and serving in special operations, communications, and intelligence units (Megan), they re-evaluated their career choices and decided to pivot, ultimately meeting in business school. In this first episode of a two part conversation, Brittney and Megan open up about the challenges they have experienced when reconciling their identities and workplace acceptance (Brittney as a woman in STEM and Megan as an openly gay woman in the military), how resilience has guided them through difficult situations, and their perspective on servant leadership.
