She reveals how she rebuilt Gretna from within by creating accountability, redefining its culture, and leading with empathy and transparency.From embracing EOS to driving diversification from oil and gas to aerospace, Nubia explains what it takes to modernize a second-generation family business while honoring its legacy.
