"As a recipient of last year's BAI Emerging Leader Scholarship, I learned a great deal at BAI Beacon and was able to share new innovative ideas with my company based on the key takeaways from the conference," said Chinyere Ubamadu, marketing manager at Atlantic Capital Bank. "The main challenges I face in my day-to-day job include problem solving, juggling priorities and the on-going digital transformation and its impact on business, and BAI Beacon offered the actionable insights I needed to manage those challenges.
