Recently I spoke with Texas CEO Magazine about my journey serving under POTUS George W Bush as well as the tremendous privilege I have had starting my entrepreneurial journey and now leading the thriving practice we call AG.

From Lost Girl to Texas Success Story: A Conversation with Rebecca Contreras
Human capital expert Rebecca Contreras has worked one-on-one with some of the most legendary leaders in Texas history, including Ann Richards, Kay Bailey Hutchison, and George W. Bush.
