Susie Quesada, President of Ramar Foods, was a middle school teacher before stepping into leadership of her family’s Filipino Evergreen® food product business, Ramar Foods. As she has led and grown the company, she has approached leadership as she did teaching—with an intentional, paced focus on listening, educating, and creating effective processes for growth and development.

In this talk from Tugboat Institute® Summit 2021, Susie describes how her experience as an educator is reflected in her commitment to creating culture, striving for effective collaboration, and making the most of every “teachable moment” to improve the company and train her team.  Listen and be inspired by this unique and very Evergreen® lens on leadership.
