2020 Vision
When it comes to setting personal goals, Lara O’Connor Hodgson (MBA ’98) aims high: Her ambition is to become, like another notable HBS alum, President of the United States, most likely in 2020. (For those with a similar aspiration and timetable, recall that she will need a running mate.)
“I want to make a difference,” Hodgson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (November 9, 2006), adding that for most elected officials, “it’s become job preservation instead of service.” A Georgia Tech alum with a degree in aerospace engineering, Hodgson has served as COO of Dewberry Capital Corp.; worked for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics; and served as EVP at Dunk.net, Shaquille O’Neal’s footwear and apparel company. She is currently the CEO of Insomnia Consulting LLC, an Atlanta-based firm specializing in investment, development, and consulting for complex and innovative “world-changing” projects. Hodgson also competes in marathons and triathlons, which can only help hone the kind of endurance and self-discipline she’ll need for that eventual run to the White House.
