After the death of her husband from an asthma attack, Alisa Latty-Alleyne made a decision to follow Jesus. But leaving a lucrative career for Christian ministry was never part of the plan
Alisa Latty-Alleyne felt like she had it all. At just 37 years old she’d been promoted to vice-president of a $30m business unit at Tata Technologies, a multinational engineering company. Along with husband, Benny, and young son, Jacob, the family were living the dream, having relocated from Coventry to Michigan, USA. As the first female in the company’s history to lead a sales and delivery function, Alisa’s role came with a six-figure salary, which afforded her a level of comfort and security beyond her wildest dreams.
