Tim Currie - Leader at Wipro; USC EdD, Organizational Leadership

Tim Currie shares highly relatable insights into how he assists clients with challenges surrounding organizational change due to growth, what drove him to pursue a doctorate in organizational leadership, and his optimistic hopes for how we will adopt AI and other tools to help with this change. One of the key takeaways for me is his mindfulness of the advantages previous generations have from how offices were traditionally structured. He's looking for methods to incorporate the new hybrid structure without unintentionally closing the door on society's newest contributors.

Ashley Gootee - Founder of Something You Couture

This week's Top Performer is Ashley Gootee! Please check out her website linked below :) Before landing in the world of couture design, Ashley’s 17 years of industry experience in formal fashion took her from design school at Purdue University in Indiana to exchange programs in Italy and Hong Kong, ultimately landing her in NYC, where she sharpened some serious design chops in the fashion capital working under high-end designers Zac Posen and Peter Som, while also working their NYC Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weeks. She then joined the licensing company Li & Fung USA, working on lines for large retailers. In 2009, Ashley moved closer to her true passion when she was 1 of 6 designers chosen for the Chicago Fashion Incubator. This led her to launch her own women’s wear line, ZAMRIE. After years of selling her apparel throughout the Midwest and online, she realized her calling by designing custom couture dresses for friends and family. As the demand started to grow, it was obvious this was more than a side gig.  Now living in Birmingham, Ashley can bring her almost two decades of craftsmanship and design to the women in AL who cannot find exactly what they want. She can help you add a sleeve to your existing wedding gown, reinvent an old gala piece into something more modern, and even transform an idea into a real tangible custom couture, fitting you better than you ever imagined. https://somethingyoucouture.com/
