LACY LEW NGUYEN WRIGHT

Executive Director

Hillman Grad Foundations

Lacy Lew Nguyen Wright currently serves as the executive director of the Hillman Grad Foundation, overseeing and handling day-to-day operations of its Mentorship Lab and Indeed’s Rising Voices initiatives, which both offer opportunities for marginalized storytellers in the entertainment industry. Wright takes the lead on organizing classes for all the mentees, connecting them with working professionals in the field. She was also one of the key players in the formalization of Hillman Grad Foundations.

As an Asian-American woman working in a field that is predominately white and male, Wright experiences first-hand the importance of promoting underrepresented communities which also serves as her passion point in all the work that she does. She truly wants to make a difference and wants others to succeed, as evidenced by her work at the Mentorship Lab, where mentees receive personalized instruction from industry professionals that they would not have access to elsewhere.
