The Legacy Leader: Big Energy Takes Charge
The term “Big Energy” wasn’t just a title; it was a transformative movement under our past president. With her at the helm, the membership soared, witnessing the inclusion of the highest number of women and minorities to date. However, her leadership ensured that while diversifying, the core value of every member in the chapter was honored.
Diversity is our strength, but unity is our power. Every member, old or new, brings a unique spark to EO’s flame.

Her tenure was characterized by an array of sold-out events, some of the most in recent years, attracting renowned thought leaders and eminent business personalities, all converging to offer members that extra edge. Furthermore, her ability to foster relationships was evident in the rising number of strategic partners who recognized and valued their association with EO.
The Young Visionary: Together We Win

Entrepreneurship thrives when we learn, grow, and succeed together. Detroit’s revival is a testament to this collective spirit.

And true to this title, he has already hosted the biggest regional event in EO’s history. Over 500 entrepreneurs from more than 20 countries and regions gathered to witness and learn from acclaimed business magnates, including notable billionaires. This wasn’t just an event; it was a celebration of entrepreneurship set against the backdrop of Detroit. This monumental gathering has not only elevated EO’s stature but also spotlighted Detroit, ushering in newfound exposure and revenue for the vibrant city.
The Future Vanguard: A Native’s Vision
As we anticipate the upcoming leadership of our president-elect, there’s a palpable excitement. A native Detroiter, she embodies the city’s spirit – resilient, innovative, and forward-looking.
Being born and raised in Detroit, I am amazed by our entrepreneurial ecosystem. EO Detroit is a part of that. I hope to usher EO Detroit towards its inevitable evolution and expansion and further build on the tremendous legacy & contribution of past presidents before me.
