“As a first-generation college graduate, I’m passionate about developing the next generation of STEM and manufacturing leaders, and have spent much of my career recruiting, mentoring and developing minority and female talent,” says Davis.
In Strathcona, she helped create and sponsor the Women’s Interest Network (WIN) and was an inaugural co-chair of the Women United Initiative for the United Way Alberta Capital Region. She is also active in recruiting, serving as a member of both the ExxonMobil Louisiana Tech University and the ExxonMobil National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) recruiting teams.
Davis and her husband Ahmad have four children ranging from 27 to 14 years old. She enjoys spending time travelling with her family, maintaining an active role in her local church and supporting the New Orleans Saints football team as a die-hard fan.
“I am eager to return to the rich and vibrant culture in Louisiana and to champion the many education and workforce development efforts that ExxonMobil supports,” said Davis. “The Baton Rouge workforce is one of the most respected across our Americas operations, and I am honored to lead this outstanding team.”
