About
As a Teaching Professor of Technology Entrepreneurship and Management at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, Joy is responsible for teaching courses that examine entrepreneurship, leadership, strategy, and innovation.
Before entering academia, Joy founded Griffin Monroe, where she provided management consulting services specializing in strategic planning and mergers & acquisitions to businesses. Her clients included Fortune 100 companies in the manufacturing sector, retail-based franchise companies, private equity firms, and Wall Street analysts covering technology sectors.
Joy is perhaps best known for her work as Co-Founder of InkCycle, a company she founded with private funds and grew from an initial $40,000 investment into a $100MM organization upon exit via strategic acquisition. She built the engineering-based company from the ground up into the category leader within the remanufactured integrated inkjet cartridge segment. Patents and proprietary technology assisted in creating a low-cost leader strategy.
Joy holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Marketing Emphasis from California State University, Northridge, and a Master's in Business Administration in Strategic Management from California State University-Dominguez Hills.
Finally, Joy has won numerous awards for her work, including eight awards from the Small Business Institute for Comprehensive Business Plans, where she served as Faculty Advisor for each.
