Libby Peck is a Double Jacket.
Full Summary:
Libby Peck is a Double Jacket. Her bachelor's in applied math and master's in industrial engineering prepared her for a groundbreaking role at the Coca-Cola Company.
Elizabeth Ann PeckElizabeth Ann “Libby” Peck earned two degrees from Georgia Tech: a B.S. in applied mathematics in 1975, and -- from the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering -- an M.S. in industrial engineering in 1976. For over 40 years she applied the knowledge she learned from Tech in building mathematical models to answer myriad questions of the Coca-Cola Company—from supply chains to strategic infrastructure to delivery routes.
Libby was the first woman to use mathematical models for supply chain analysis at the Coca-Cola Company. Often, she was the only woman among male colleagues working on global problems. By standing up to defend her work vigorously and completing projects with assiduous diligence, she proved herself equal to the best of the men around her.
