Manage episode 312708321 series 3242932
In this episode Jon Birdsong sits down with Hala Moddelmog, CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber.
Hala was born and raised in Georgia and began her career as a financial analyst at Arby’s Restaurant Group. Over the years, she scaled the corporate ladder and busted glass ceilings becoming the first woman to lead an international restaurant company as the President of Church’s Chicken. Hala transitioned back to the first company she worked for, Arby’s, but this time as President and CEO. Over the past 6 years she’s led the Metro Atlanta Chamber through unprecedented growth. We talk about how a Chamber can drive real value, initiatives she would have prioritized earlier, and of course leadership stories along the way.
The Atlanta Story is put together by the folks at Atlanta Ventures -- and we can’t wait to share some of the personalities behind the brand. Atlanta Ventures invests in entrepreneurs through community, content, and capital -- most notably through our Studio with companies like Greenzie and Intown Golf Club. We believe the best entrepreneurs learn from other great artists in different fields.
