GEORGIE ORTIZ

Managing principal Clifton Larson Allen, LLC Albuquerque

Who or what inspires you as a leader and

why? I’m inspired by those who unselfishly give their time and resources for the betterment of others without the need for recognition.

What do you consider to be New Mexico’s strengths and how can our state build upon

these assets? New Mexico is a beautiful state with natural and cultural resources. We can promote these assets to industries looking for better quality-of-life for their employees. How do you see yourself applying your LNM experiences and education in the future? Interacting with others with similar leadership goals and experiences allows for networking opportunities to promote our state and keep talent from leaving.
