OUTSTANDING In 2012, Jackie Fouse earned her UT Arlington doctorate in finance even though she already had a great job and after earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics from UT Arlington. Fouse started the doctoral program in 2003 while chief financial officer of Alcon Labs in Fort Worth. Today she is the CFO of Celgene Corp., a Fortune 500 drugmaker in Summit, N.J. Recently profiled by business columnist Mitchell Schnurman, he asked, “When your time is that valuable and corporate responsibilities so great, why devote so many years to a school project at The University of Texas at Arlington?” Fouse responded: “It’s the same reason that I run marathons. It’s there to be done, so I’m doing it.”
