Eartha S. Petersen-Farngalo

Eartha S. Petersen-Farngalo is a business leader and passionate ‘doer.’ Her professional experiences include Sales, Corporate Communications, and Training & Development roles at AT&T and at Google (and an internship with President Clinton!). Today, she develops global sales enablement strategies at Google and is the founder of The Career Fairy, a career coaching firm for millennials. She holds a B.A. in Speech Communication from Morgan State University. Committed to being an active part of her community, Eartha has served a Big Sister in Big Brothers, Big Sisters and as an active member of the Junior League of Atlanta – where she spent several years after college – and now of Brooklyn. Eartha was born and raised on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, by a local and New Yorker (Bronx native!), who ventured down on vacation, fell in love, and never left! She recently moved back east from the Silicon Valley (California), settling in Brooklyn with her husband, Zuri.

Outside of work you can find her on her yoga mat, with a good book, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, or trotting the globe (she’s been to almost 20 countries). She brings to the GBM Board her razor-sharp execution skills and expertise building communication strategies. Perhaps most importantly, she brings her passion for good food, focus on healthful living, and fervor for empowering youth (and communities) through education.
