Ashley Jones

Ashley was born in El Paso, Texas and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where she quickly developed a passion for excellence on the courts, in the pool, and in the classroom. A standout student-athlete, she thrived in tennis, swimming, and basketball while consistently earning high honors. Her commitment to both academics and athletics earned her a tennis scholarship to Tuskegee University, where she completed a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, a B.S. in Physics, and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering. At Tuskegee, Ashley helped lead the tennis program to four conference championships as both a player and coach, sharpening the discipline, leadership, and competitive drive that continue to guide her career.

​

Ashley launched her professional journey as an engineer with Lucent Technologies and has since cultivated an exceptional career in project and program management, operations, and technology leadership. Her experience includes overseeing multimillion-dollar portfolios, managing high-visibility projects, and leading teams of 50+ employees. Throughout her career, she has designed and implemented innovative, efficient processes that reduced planning timelines by more than 40%, strengthened engagement in enterprise-wide initiatives, and consistently delivered programs within rigorous financial targets and unachievable timelines. Her additional roles as a Senior Program Manager and Quality Data Analyst further demonstrate her ability to analyze complex systems, advance continuous improvement, and drive measurable organizational impact.

​

Today, Ashley brings this same level of excellence and strategic vision to her work as Director of Operations and Signature Events at Ladies of Virtue, as well as to her role as the creator and owner of Lauren Ashley Home, an interior design firm. A dedicated LOV mentor since 2012, she is committed to helping young people, especially girls, recognize their power and step confidently into leadership. Beyond her professional pursuits, Ashley continues to compete in sports, travel widely, and model holistic wellness. She has lived medicine-free for decades while managing Multiple Sclerosis, embodying resilience, intentionality, and the transformative power of disciplined self-care.
