Grace O’Sullivan, vice president, Arizona State University
BACKGROUND: Grace O’Sullivan serves as vice president of Corporate and Economic Development in the Knowledge Enterprise at Arizona State University. She brings over a decade of expertise in higher education and creating impactful public-private partnerships. O’Sullivan also serves on the board of Terros Health and Partnership for Economic Innovation.
SOURCE OF PRIDE: “I am most proud of being part of a team comprised of public and private sector leaders that recruited Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to Phoenix. The economic impact of this project will transform our community for decades to come. Not only does it help enhance Arizona’s economy, but also U.S. and global competitiveness from a geopolitical standpoint.”
SURPRISING FACT: “I toured the U.S. and Japan in an indie rock band.”
SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “Japanese contemporary artist, Yayoi Kusama is a constant source of inspiration to me. She has overcome many adversities in her life, including abuse and mental illness. Kusama has pivoted her challenges and made them into strengths. Most artists are celebrated posthumously, but at 93, Kusama is at the height of her career. At the Phoenix Art Museum, we are fortunate enough to have her Firefly Infinity Mirror Room on permanent display.”
