Lydia Donnell - Vice President of Business Development - Root Engineering
Lydia Donnell earned her BBA in Business Management from Dallas Baptist University in 2019 while competing on the now 2-time NCAA National Championship women’s golf team. She went on to obtain her MBA in Executive Leadership from Union University in Jackson, Tennessee in 2022 where she served as the men’s and women’s graduate assistant golf coach for 2 years while working towards her degree.
Over 15 years of competitive golf helped teach her what it takes to be a great teammate, and her time coaching gave her insight on what it takes to lead a team well. She offers a unique perspective on leadership due to her experience being both coach and player. She has seen firsthand the lessons being part of a sports team can teach us about life after sports, particularly in the business setting.
In her free time, she enjoys traveling and playing golf with her husband, hanging out with her 5-month-old puppy, reading, acquiring houseplants, and willingly torturing herself by continuing to sign up to run half marathons.
