About Courtney
- I grew up in areas where I was the minority and by the time I was college-aged, I knew I wanted to attend an HBCU to be surrounded by Black excellence.
- I graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a chemistry degree—my goal had been to go to medical school but I decided I wanted to take a break and find a job towards the end of college.
- Fortunately, my analytical skills from my chemistry degree positioned me to find a job in finance—my first job was with MCI WorldCom as a financial analyst support coordinator.
- I spent about 10 years in finance for companies like Accenture and Cingular Wireless before I got the opportunity to join Coca-Cola as a field finance manager.
- I’ve been with Coca-Cola for 13 years now and have worked my way up to my current position in franchise leadership for Texas, Oklahoma, and portions of New Mexico and Arkansas.
