Katie and Mingkai met in a marketing class at Bentley University while pursuing their MBA. They instantly hit it off due to their passion for prioritizing employee voices in an organization. They both feel strongly that they could help companies grow by bringing the ideas of boots-on-the-ground employees to life. Out of these discussions, ArmstrongLin Optimal Solutions was born!
