Hello Everyone!
My name is Jessie Buck, and I am now located in Atlanta, GA after relocating from Philadelphia last year.
After spending many years in Executive Assistant roles supporting multiple C-Level Executives, I am now the Program Manger for a company that works to promote female leadership to the next level. We have two levels of established programs, one for the director level, and the other for those who are at the senior level. We host about 15 programs a year all over the world and have about 1300 alumni, so I am usually traveling! I am the sole program manager of our first, yearlong, membership-based program where members focus on their legacy within their companies, have access to events and speakers, and have the ability to use our personal board of advisors, who have been in their respective C-Level roles for many years, to seek advice as needed. My long-term goal is to grow this program into different sectors of the business world or to bring my knowledge to another company and work to grow a leadership program for individuals within the company. I am working to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership and Development.
When I’m not traveling, I enjoy being able to see family and horseback riding on weekends!
I look forward to working with all of you.

Hi Jessica,
Your position as Program Manager sounds very interesting! I am in a position in my own company where there seems to still be a glass ceiling and on a personal note, would love to chat more with you off-line. As for our course this semester, I thing you will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team and I look forward to learning from your field of expertise. Since I also enjoy traveling, I appreciate your company’s interest in having you travel and share your vision and career opportunities. I do not ride horses; however, horseback riding is one of my 16-year old daughter’s passions. Nice meeting you Jessica!
