Emma Corrie joined Twin Cities R!SE as new President and CEO in April 2022.

Emma’s passion is connecting people from underserved communities to well-paid and stable jobs. She has helped place hundreds of Minnesotans in public sector jobs while also working to change institutional structures to break gender and racial glass ceilings to enable career success. 

Recently she helped create the Public Sector Partnership and the MNPathways Program, initiatives of Governor Dayton, that placed over two hundred diverse candidates into the state’s five largest job classes across 21 state agencies. For this work Governor Dayton honored her and proclaimed “Emma Corrie Day” in Minnesota.

Emma has had a distinguished career in State Government, most recently leading the Minnesota Department of Driver & Vehicle Services, annual revenue of $1.4 billion, during the heart of the pandemic where critical technology and program changes were implemented. In the past 24 years, she has served in various progressive leadership roles in various departments - Natural Resources, Public Safety, Transportation and at the Governor’s Office.

Emma has a master’s degree in Business and has been certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources since 2008. She co-authored 'Learning Circles: A Handbook for Preschools in India' published by Macmillan India Publishers. Emma grew up in India as a child of a single mother who instilled in her seven children, values of faith, family and community. She lives in Saint Paul, loves to travel with Bruce (husband), Cristina (daughter) and Sean (son) and has traveled to 26 countries across six continents.
