First In Command
Leadership, Innovation & Governing What's Next
Virginia's first woman governor reflects on what it means to lead the Commonwealth at the intersection of technology, economic development, and a rapidly changing workforce. Her path to the Governor's Mansion was not conventional, and neither is her approach to governing. This conversation examines what leadership looks like when the stakes are high, the environment is complex, and the decisions you make today shape what a state looks like a generation from now. What does governing for innovation actually require? And what does Virginia's next chapter look like from the seat she now occupies?
