The Sunny Street Initiative’s Board of Directors is a diverse group of professionals whose experience and insights combine to spearhead the organization’s continued growth and amplify it’s impact.

She held similar roles in the consulting and SaaS sectors thereafter, and has recently returned to IHG in a sales strategy role, securing business travel opportunities for global accounts.
Olivia is also an RYT-200 certified yoga teacher, and has a longstanding personal yoga practice. She was previously a faculty member with Sunny Street Yoga, and co-led a charitable initiative to provide children’s yoga to an Atlanta-area outreach organization.
