Jakaylee Minor, Founder & CEO
MBA Women of Houston
Jakaylee Minor is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MBA Women of Houston.
She holds an Associate of Arts (AA) in Business Management and Marketing from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Marketing from Texas Southern University, where she founded the Real Estate Society of Texas Southern University. She is currently in the final year of her Master of Business Administration (MBA) in International Business at the University of Houston–Downtown, where she continues to advance her focus in global strategy, leadership, and executive-level business development.
Jakaylee established MBA Women of Houston to address a clear gap in Houston’s professional ecosystem: the lack of an exclusive, high-caliber network for MBA-educated women. While more women are earning MBAs, there are limited structured spaces focused on their advancement into executive leadership. She founded this association to elevate that pathway by cultivating a refined, strategic network centered on access, opportunity, and executive-level advancement for MBA-educated women within Houston’s business community.
