“My mom unintentionally traced the roadmap to my destiny. Little did she know that when she signed me up for a beauty contest, she opened the doors for the most thrilling journey of my life.”
When 23-year-old Greice Murphy arrived in America from her native country of Brazil, she had with her three pieces of luggage, grandma’s rosary, and her first job as a currency trader in a regional bank. She spoke no English, had no friends or family in Atlanta, but she had a big dream:
“I didn’t come here just to take my shot at the ‘American Dream’ or be professionally successful. I came here to make a difference! I followed my calling in life: add value to others and make a positive impact on the lives I touch.”
And what a difference she made! Within 7 years, Greice would become the founder and CEO of an award-winning healthcare company that would change the way in-home nursing care services are delivered to medically fragile patients.

Greice freely shared what she had learned in the process of the acquisition on an M&A panel that I hosted. She truly brightened up our panel with her energy and enthusiasm. I could tell right away her leadership and communication skills are outstanding, and so is her desire to make the world a better place.”
