“We’re thrilled and proud to welcome Bridgette to the EverDriven team,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “Not only does Bridgette contribute her impressive experience leading teams for some of the world’s biggest companies, but she also brings the intangibles – the heart, the connection with people, and the intrinsic motivation to help us on our mission to serve all students and empower their education.”
