MEET dR. VICKIE COX eDMONDSON

Vickie Cox Edmondson’s personal beliefs and endeavors have had a profound impact on the way she views the world. First and foremost, Vickie is a mom, grandmother, and friend committed to Christian values and excellence. Like many students of color, Vickie had to overcome unfortunate circumstances to graduate from both high school and college.

She grew up in a low-income family and did not know it. She did not earn a prestigious scholarship that covered most of her college expenses or have a business role model. A first-generation college graduate; Vickie Cox Edmondson learned how to succeed in college and in professional business environments through trial-and-error and with the help of informal mentors who believed she had what it took to succeed.

Armed with an undergraduate degree earned in 3.5 years from Spelman College, an MBA from Mercer University, a Ph.D. in strategy from the University of Georgia, and years of industry and classroom experience, Dr. Cox Edmondson is an academic and management strategist whose influence spans across industries, professions, and business types. She was inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma International Business Honor Society in 2011 and the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society in 2015.

Vickie desires a business environment where companies do not have to lower the bar to promote employees who can contribute in real-time, particularly people of color and women, who are traditionally underrepresented, often underestimated and widely underinvested. Her committed learners have been able to compete and differentiate themselves in nonprofit, for-profit, large, and small companies. Dr. Vickie Cox Edmondson shapes difference-makers (both intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs) who can confidently sit at any table. Are you ready to join this class of achievers?
