Henderson joined MJE in 2017 and has quietly become one of the strategic minds shaping partnerships, elevating brand influence, and expanding the economic reach of MJE’s mission. Rising from Senior Manager to Vice President—and now President—she has proven herself not just capable, but catalytic.

As Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Marketing, she led:

Beyond her corporate success, she serves on the board of A.Bevy, helping young adults find direction, identity, and purpose—an example of leadership that extends beyond the office and into the lives of future innovators.

A Historic Representation Moment


Henderson’s presidency represents a breakthrough for:

  • women stepping into major corporate leadership
  • Black leaders shaping national investment strategy
  • the next generation building wealth, ownership, and opportunity


This moment proves something powerful: future-focused leadership doesn’t just inherit legacy—it expands it.

Rooted in Community, Positioned for Global Impact


Originally from Fort Mill, South Carolina, Henderson earned her degree from Clemson University and an MBA from Pepperdine University. Today she calls Los Angeles home—a city where entrepreneurship, culture, and economic innovation converge.
