For Carrico, an Ohio native who competed on the College’s equestrian team and also majored in Spanish, a study abroad trip to Chile was the “hook” that led to her first job out of college. “The company I worked for was Chilean, and the fact that I understood the Chilean culture and could speak Spanish helped me not only land the job but also to get promoted quickly,” she says.

After earning an MBA from Georgetown, Carrico began working in finance at Nike before moving to the supply chain group. Since then, traveling and experiencing different cultures all over the world have been mainstays of her job.

“While working at Nike I’ve traveled all over South America and Asia, to Europe (including Russia), and even to Australia – so I’ve loved not only working in those countries, but also learning about the history of the places I’ve visited, the people, the food and the culture.”
