Founder & Principal, ExecMommyGroup (EMG)
Joelle A. Murchison combines her passion and expertise in education, equity & inclusion and communications in her work as the Founder & Principal of ExecMommyGroup LLC (EMG), an inclusion and leadership strategic consulting practice.
A career diversity and inclusion champion, Murchison, a graduate of Brown University, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications, also currently serves as the Executive Director of The Lawyers Collaborative for Diversity and as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Connecticut School of Business.
A native of Queens, and raised in Long Island, NY, Joelle takes her professional and leadership queues from her mother, a trailblazer in her own right, who was the first African American woman manager in the Social Security Administration in the 1970s. Joelle began her career in higher education followed by a stint in the non-profit sector; then transitioning to corporate America – first with United Technologies and then as the inaugural Chief Diversity Officer at Travelers Insurance. Murchison returned to higher education in 2016 as the inaugural Chief Diversity Officer at the University of Connecticut where she served before launching EMG.
A recipient of numerous awards, Joelle serves as the chair of the board of RE-Center Race and Equity in Education and is a member of the board of directors and chair of the Human Capital and Diversity committee for College Possible, a national nonprofit focused on college access. In 2020, Joelle was elected to serve as a trustee of the Corporation of Brown University, the university’s decision-making body and currently serves as the chair of the Corporation’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion standing committee.Â
Additionally in her most demanding yet fulfilling role, Joelle is the mother of four children between the ages of 7 and 18 who are the wind beneath her wings. At her core, she is passionate about encouraging and inspiring all people to reach their highest potential and about creating space for open dialogue to enhance inclusion and understanding.Â
