Build a business that’s as values-driven behind the scenes as it is in the spotlight with Hawwa Muhammad!
April 14th, 2026 | 11:00 AM PT
Founders often lead with purpose, but purpose alone doesn’t build a scalable, sustainable business. Being purpose-driven is more than messaging— it’s a commitment that should shape every layer of your business. To make your values real, they need to show up in your internal operations.
The Nasdaq Center is excited to be joined by Hawwa Muhammad, Founder and CEO at Pink Trumpet, for a practical session for founders who want to ensure their operations reflect the impact they want to make. We’ll explore how to turn abstract intentions into real processes, workflows, and policies so that you can avoid friction and misalignment as you scale. Join us to gain the tools needed to make sure your systems tell the same story as your brand!
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how to align internal operations with your purpose for lasting impact.
- Discover how to build workflows, policies, and practices that reflect your values.
- Understand how your internal systems shape the external experience—and how to make sure they’re telling the same story.
