Alonda Williams is the President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound, Washington's largest youth mentoring organization, where she works to connect young people with the relationships and opportunities they need to thrive. Before stepping into nonprofit leadership, she spent two decades in corporate roles at companies like Microsoft, Verizon, and Qualcomm — proof that career paths can take real turns and still lead somewhere meaningful.
