La Toya D. Darden founded NexGen C.E.O. to equip emerging youth and young adults with executive leadership principles, Career & Technical Education (CTE) competencies, and real-world business acumen.
Before NexGen, she served as Chief Executive Officer of Central Care Integrated Health Services, a multi-site Federally Qualified Health Center with a $12M+ annual operating budget and more than 120 staff. There she secured more than $50 million in cumulative federal, state, and institutional funding and co-authored a health benefits initiative that reached more than 20,000 Houston ISD employees earning $25,000 or less a year.
She is also the founder of 2T Tickets, LLC, where she built digital software platforms for collegiate athletic environments and HBCUs, and an executive fellow of the UCLA / Johnson & Johnson Health Care Executive Program at the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
“We are building a modern bridge between classroom study and executive execution,” she says. Read her full profile on our Founder & Leadership page.
