    Consumer Investor Sarah Guller and Professional athlete and Indiana Fever star Lexie Hull co-founded Forta, a cosmetics brand designed for active consumers. Frustrated by products that fade during play or workouts, they built Forta at the intersection of beauty and performance, creating cosmetics tailored for athletes, gym-goers and everyday movement. Former roommates, Hull and Guller launched the brand after graduating from Stanford University, where Hull earned a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in management science and engineering and Guller earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics.

    Chuck Robbins is the chairman and chief executive officer of Cisco Systems Inc., a California-based global technology company that connects and secures digital infrastructure for organizations, cities and countries around the world. He became Cisco’s CEO in July 2015 and was elected chair of the board in December 2017, after more than two decades with the company in sales and global operations leadership roles. Robbins holds a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics with a concentration in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
