Executive Forum with Ariana Evans, Senior Staff Consultant for Crowe

The Executive Forum is open to the public, as seating permits, and provides opportunities for the exchange of ideas and discussion of topics and issues facing business and management.

Ariana Evans is a senior staff consultant within the Municipal Advisory practice at Crowe, where she works to provide excellent service and solutions to public and private clients in the public sector industry.  Before Crowe, she was a student at Purdue University where she graduated (during the pandemic) with a 3.48 GPA and double majoring in both accounting and finance. During her final year as a student, she not only placed third in the 2020 Miss Black and Gold Pageant, but she was also awarded the “Advancing Women” and “Outstanding Senior” award by the business school due to her contributions as a student.

As a Purdue student, some of Ariana’s favorite memories are those that involve engaging with others in the Business Opportunity Program and her opportunities to volunteer, whether it be through the School of Languages and Cultures’ Ayuda y Aprende program or being an ambassador for the Brock-Wilson Center for Women in Business.  This hard work and advocacy translated to her role at Crowe where some of her extracurriculars include helping the firm recruit diverse talent as well as serving as the Indianapolis Lead for the African American Business Resource group.
