The recipient of an MBA from the University of Alabama, Michael Attea is a market research professional who serves Cendyn as a data intelligence analyst. Also a freelancer for Massachusetts-based Sermo, Michael Attea is a member of Net Impact.
A global community consisting of students and emerging leaders from a variety of professional sectors, Net Impact encourages new generations to drive widespread environmental and social change. One of the ways the organization encourages innovation is through its annual Pitch Competition, which rewards a team or individual for their transformative ideas, products, or platforms. The winner of the 2017 Pitch Competition was Asha Lannin, a student at the USC Marshall School of Business who developed the social enterprise platform Bridget.
Working from the idea that the average teenage girl has a difficult time imagining herself holding a high-earning position within a professional setting, Lannin coordinated partnerships with socially conscious corporations to provide skill-building interactions and experiences for young women. The program will launch with a cohort of fifteen girls who will each visit one of Bridget's partner corporations. In return, each girl will detail her insights by filming a corporate social responsibility commercial for the company she visited. The videos will be available on Bridget's website, and every time one is played, the corresponding partner corporation will donate money back to Bridget programming.
