Girls, Inc.
Lea Rosenauer, President and CEO

Lea Rosenauer is the “lady in red,” because she’s often sporting the signature color of Girls, Inc. (or maybe it’s her University of Oklahoma degree). Girls, Inc. encourages girls to be “strong, smart, and bold,” and Lea fits the bill on all fronts. Lea’s more than doubled the capacity of Girls, Inc., since her arrival in 2014 spearheading an $8 million capital campaign for a new campus to implement programming for mentoring, college and career readiness, character development and behavioral health. Lea has numerous honors and is actively engaged in STEM learning to build the next generation of women in high tech.
