Executive Vice President Strategic Planning Holiday Inn Worldwide – Atlanta, Georgia
From teaching gifted children in Syracuse, New York to presiding over the prestigious Committee of 200 or speaking to the World Economic Forum in Beijing, China, Mylle Bell Mangum is equally comfortable and eminently qualified. As Executive Vice President of Strategic Planning for Holiday Inn Worldwide, she is responsible for developing Holiday Inn’s growth strategy and investment relative to strategic goals in Asia, The Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A graduate of Emory University, Mylle taught gifted children in the New York School System prior to signing on with General Electric where she developed and integrated marketing systems for distribution. That led her to BellSouth Corporation where she moved from assistant vice president of new ventures to being named first president of BellSouth International and ultimately director of corporate planning and development. Her range of activities is as varied as her professional career. Besides her Committee of 200 involvement, Mrs. Mangum is a board member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Children’s Wish Foundation, Reynolds Metals Company and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. “One of our students this afternoon asked how it felt to have arrived and to be there. You have to say that you never arrive, you are never there. It is a continual journey with the excitement of learning and the excitement of accomplishment.”
