Today we’re joined by Roxanne Bras Petraeus, co-founder and CEO of Ethena, an innovative compliance training platform redefining how businesses approach ethics and culture. Roxanne shares her journey from serving as an Army Engineer and Rhodes Scholar to launching Ethena, a Series B company that's raised $50 million in venture capital.

We dive into the inspiration behind Ethena and how it transforms compliance training into a tool for building company culture. Roxanne reflects on the leadership lessons she carried from the military into the tech world, her experiences as a female founder, and her advice for veterans transitioning to civilian careers. She also discusses navigating challenges in fundraising, hiring, and building a mission-driven business.

This conversation is packed with insights for veterans, entrepreneurs, and anyone striving to create impactful solutions. Learn more about Ethena at goethena.com and follow Roxanne on LinkedIn for more inspiring content!
