In addition to the JOURNEY team, the Founder’s Circle included Mary Barra, Ginni Rometty, Dina Powell McCormick, Susan Lyne, Desiree Gruber, Tory Burch, Mellody Hobson, Roz Brewer, Wei Christianson, Lisa Caputo, Shriti Vadera, Indra Nooyi, Corie Barry, Jenny Johnson, Aileen Lee, Jenny Just, Rachel Romer, Maëlle Gavet, Alicia Boler Davis, Jenny Abramson, Jennifer Tejada, Peggy Alford, Kathi Vidal, Michèle Flournoy, Leanne Caret, Elisa Villanueva Beard, Margo Georgiadis, Marillyn Hewson, Angela Hwang, and Sonia Syngal.
