With a philosophy rooted in breaking barriers and championing equity, Barnard leverages her extensive experience in leading global brands to build a future where diverse voices in leadership are not just heard but celebrated and amplified.
Her journey, influenced by her academic pursuits in Psychology at Harvard and an MBA in Marketing & Strategic Management from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, reflects a deep understanding of the intersection between brand power and leadership dynamics. As a former Division I athlete and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Barnard infuses her work with energy, collaboration, and a relentless drive for inclusivity. Her approach is not just about developing leaders; it’s about nurturing authentic and bold leaders to shape a more equitable world.
