I see my new role as a coach for the GU Crew and will draw energy, and creativity out of the people I work with,” said Magda. During her tenure at GU, she has also led sales and marketing teams on separate occasions, building her knowledge to take on the company-wide responsibilities as President. Magda added: “I’m deeply honored and humbled by this opportunity and look forward to the work ahead as we develop and grow our teams and the business.”

Magda will also work in close partnership with Brian as he shifts his attention and brings expression to the GU’s shared purpose.
