Meet LaFawn Davis: A C-suite executive at Indeed who dropped out of college and proved you don’t need a degree to land a top job

Quick Summary:

Davis said her career hasn’t always been smooth, in part because she didn’t have a bachelor’s degree.

After Google, Davis said she played a game of “tech company roulette,” moving between employee experience and DEI roles at firms including Yahoo! , eBay, and Paypal.

And without a bachelor’s degree, Davis said she was turned away from new opportunities.
