“WIB has always been a cornerstone for bringing together strong, motivated people who are eager to support one another and create meaningful change. As a Tuckie, I have witnessed how the intimate, collaborative nature of Tuck fosters this mantra.”
Tatum Bradley T’24

“[B]y supporting and celebrating each other’s strengths, we can achieve incredible feats. I’m grateful to be surrounded by an extraordinary group of individuals at Tuck, and I’m confident that with their support, I can achieve anything.”
Lynsey Kirby T’23

“Before going to WIB, I couldn’t imagine leaving my job and going back to school. I was happy in my current role and didn’t think I was MBA-material. However, during WIB I saw myself as a member of the Tuck community and ... hoped I’d be back.”
Pranali Sabale T’23

“Through this [event], I hope people not only take home the same feeling and regard that we hold for this community, but also discover how to choose courage over fear during small or big decisions in their personal and professional lives.”

    Founder + Principal, Lead with Gina
    Co-Founder, The T'Collective

    In her executive roles at Strava, Boston Beer Company, the Tuck School of Business, and AOL Time Warner, Gina learned that the most critical business challenges in growth-minded organizations are rarely just about strategy or operations. They're about leadership - having the clarity to make tough decisions, the systems to support what you're building, and the courage to evolve when what got you here won't get you there.

    Today, Gina works as a Fractional COO and Executive + Teams Advisor, partnering with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to navigate complexity and grow intentionally. She steps in when things are moving fast, but the team dynamics, operational foundation, or clarity of vision isn’t keeping pace.
