As LDR has spent the last few weeks celebrating our Leading Ladies and authors of HERstory, we’ve saved our very best for last.
Aquanda Lewis’s title is technically Chief Operating Officer, but we could call her our Everywoman in Chief. With over 20 years of experience in operational leadership, she brings clarity, discipline, and high standards to every single process and system that fuels our mission. Whether she’s commanding the boardroom, speaking at an industry event, holding a company-wide town hall, or conceptualizing a campaign, she always leads with grace, dignity, and a demand for excellence.
Aquanda is always quick to point out that she doesn’t see herself as a “woman executive,” but rather a “capable executive.” Still, her dedication to mentoring the other Leading Ladies of LDR is proof that she knows the importance of her role as a female leader in a male-dominated industry. We are all lucky to have Aquanda as our North Star. Thanks for always seeing your LDR crew through. We’re making HERstory with you!
