Most people think career reinvention is for young folks. 
Bobbi Brown proves the opposite by doing it in her 60s!

This is her story and the proof that it's "Never Too Late."

It all started in 1995 when Bobbi Brown sold Bobbi Brown Cosmetics to Estée Lauder for a reported $74.5 million at age 38 and signed a 25-year non-compete.

It prevented her from:
- launching a new beauty company
- selling makeup under her own name
- using "Bobbi Brown" for any beauty product

In 2016, Bobbi announced her exit from Estée Lauder.
She waited to be legally free and build again (October 2020). Between 2017 and 2020, she built multiple ventures like...

The George, a boutique hotel in Montclair
A lifestyle site [justbobbi.com](http://justbobbi.com/)

Began experimenting with makeup formulae.
October 26, 2020, marked her comeback as she launched Jones Road Beauty, a clean, minimalist beauty brand.

Jones Road was self-funded with 0 debt, 0 VC money. 
From 2021, the company saw wins like:
- $20M in sales in 2021, profitable within months
- On track to 3x its sales number in 2022
- 2023 projections were 2x of 2022

She leveraged TikTok fully, and at 65, became a sensation there. Her satire video from “Foundation-gate” passed millions of views and 3xed daily sales.
At 60, most people told her to slow down.

She chose to do the opposite and reinvented herself using what she always knew.
world was overwhelmed with over-engineered products.
how women were tired of being told to “fix” themselves.
her instinct to build her first empire

And it worked. 🙌 

Like Bobbi, if you feel like you are “late,” you are not.

You are simply standing at the part of your career where everything finally makes sense.
Your experience is not a weight. It is to your advantage.

P.S. What would you build if you stopped believing it was too late?

I have never done this but need to because of how serious this has become.
LinkedIn team this is for you.
Ryan Roslansky Gyanda Sachdeva (tagging you because I’m running out of options)

I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2006-07.
I am a long-time Premium Business user.
And I support women in corporate and women founders rise.

This platform has been central to my career, my growth, my community, and now as a founder of 2 small businesses.

Since early November, my account has been repeatedly restricted and flagged. 

I don’t use bots.
I don’t use any automation tools.
I’m not part of engagement pods.
And yet, I’m being hit with multiple restrictions and warnings every few days.

I can’t trace back to anything I’ve done.

My support ticket has been open for weeks, and Stewart has tried but we still haven’t resolved the root cause.

Here’s why I’m escalating this:
These restrictions have shut down my primary business channel.
My revenue dropped to ZERO in November and December is heading in the same direction. 💔 

I’m now hesitant to use LinkedIn now from fear....
even message, comment or reply to an in-mail or reach out to my customers because I don’t know what will trigger another restriction.

I want to be clear:
I deeply value LinkedIn and the work being done to keep the platform safe.
But something in the system is hurting a rule-abiding small business founder who depends on this platform to operate.

I’m tagging you both because I’ve run out of paths through regular support channels.

I need help identifying what’s causing this and getting it fixed quickly before my business gets negatively impacted.

Please help and if someone from LinkedIn team knows how I can get help or speak to the right person, I would really appreciate.

The biggest career jump I’ve seen in 2025 started with a woman taking a "step down” after a layoff derailed her goals. 👀 

(This was the best message I got this week. I hope it inspires you)

Mary had spent almost 20 years building her career.
She finally earned a VP of Product role.
And then the company layoffs hit.

At first, she stayed confident.
But even with an impeccable track record… she couldn’t land a job.
For 2.5 years.
She applied to 500+ roles.
Joined every networking and accountability group she could.

But with companies cutting layers in 2024–25…
The ladder she spent two decades climbing simply wasn’t there anymore.

In this market, we can’t think about career the way we did five years ago.
Today, we need to think about building leverage not climbing ladders.

So when a Principal PM role came up, she hesitated.
It meant a huge title drop and a massive pay cut.
After years of working her way to VP… she’d be an IC again. 🫢 

I could see why the decision crushed her.
She told me,
“I’m scared taking this role proves what people always thought… that I was never VP material.”

And a lot of women are being pushed into this exact fear right now.

When we talked, we focused on:
- what would give her leverage long-term
- the mindset and strategies champions use in hard markets

She didn’t take the role as a step down.
She stepped around. Because careers aren’t linear anymore.

And that’s when the real work began.
Inside the company, she looked like every other Principal PM.

1. So we rebuilt her narrative to match how execs think using the language and numbers her SVP and C-level leaders cared about.
2. We upgraded her exec communication.
3. We refined her storytelling.
4. And we engineered sponsors.

Nine months later, her SVP told her they’d never seen a Principal PM operate at this level.
She was promoted to Senior Director with compensation above her former VP role. 🙌 

What looked like a step down became her power move.

When Mary joined Leadership Edge, she told me she didn’t need pep talks.
She needed a pathway built for this market not the one she outgrew.
That’s why she rose again.

If any part of Mary’s story made you think, “this might be me…” and you want support building your comeback, reach out.

P.S. What would you have done in Mary’s place?

#womenleadership #careergrowth #womenintech #careeradvancement

My 11-year-old son T asked me a question last year:
“What’s the point of entrepreneurship if you can’t make the world better?” 🥰 

So when he started his handmade candle business “Eternity by T“ and decided on his own to donate 10% to the Children’s Heart Foundation, I was incredibly proud.

Every year...
1 in 100 babies in the U.S. are born with congenital heart defects.
Many don’t make it. 💔 
T knows that could’ve been him.
And the gratitude is what built this business.

There is still so much research needed to understand the causes and to improve the open-heart surgeries newborns often endure.

That’s why his business is special to him.
And why I’m sharing this today on his behalf (he’s not on social media).

If you’re looking for Christmas or holiday gifts…
His candles might be something meaningful to give.
He hand-makes each one over 3-4 hours.

And who knows…
You might just help save the life of a baby in the process.
Even if you’re not a candle person, they make beautiful, unique décor pieces.
(T says, you will not find anything like this in stores...)

P.S. If you’d like one, message me; he ships throughout the U.S.
♻️ Want to support him? Sharing this post would mean the world to T.

$225k. $475k. $1M. And 2x salary. 4 women in my Founder's Edge program built a 6-figure business without quitting their jobs first. 💃 

Here’s how:
Here are a few stories I hope lift you today and show what's possible in 12 months:

1. Sarah thought she needed to "do this for FREE for testimonials" before she could sell homemade dog treats. 
We applied my "Sales Conversion Framework" and focused only on early customers and cash flow. 12 months later, she built a $225k business from her kitchen, which is profitable.

2. Rina believed she had to quit her corporate job to start anything meaningful that brought her joy.
She began making natural soaps on weekends, used my "Monetization Framework", and stayed consistent. Last year her sales crossed $475k! That's 2X times her salary.

3. Tara assumed side hustles never scale into real income and she would need to undercharge and do it for free.
Using my "Scaling Blueprint", she tightened operations, raised margins, and repositioned her jewelry line. She crossed one million dollars in sales in a year.

4. Neha thought coaching only works if you already have a huge audience and needed to build a personal brand first.
With my "Messaging Framework for High Ticket Sales", she filled her client roster, matched her corporate salary in twelve months, and now has a year long waitlist.

These are the frameworks I wish I had I got laid off and found myself unclear on what I wanted to do career wise. 👀 

They would have saved me years of confusion and second guessing myself.

And that is what I want you to think about today.

The goal for 2026 is not to quit your job tomorrow.
The goal is to build a secure financial backup so your future is not 100% dependent on an employer, economic shifts, or a moment of luck.

Rooting for you. 🥰 🙌 

P.S. Which story feels closest to where you are right now?

#solopreneurship #inspiration #womenintech #leadership #womensupportingwomen

I left the office at 4:15 to pick up T, my son and spent the entire evening refreshing Slack like I’d committed a crime. 🤢

- Nobody messaged me.
- Nobody asked anything.
- Nobody even noticed.

But my brain was in overdrive… convinced I’d done something wrong.
Convinced I was a “bad leader” and a "bad mom" to even feel like this.

My husband encouraged me to stop justifying when I had to leave early for school pickups and simply say it as a matter of fact... Just like he has done.

I then realized how common this was in the company.
Every mom in the company did exactly what I was doing.
And every single dad left by giving a single disclaimer:
“Gotta go, I will be offline from x–y today.”
That’s it.

After speaking with hundreds of women inside SheTrailblazes, I can tell you this:

1. The more we justify, the more we invite scrutiny in what we do.
2. The guilt working moms feel has nothing to do with falling behind.
We already know we’re not behind.

Most of us have done more by 2pm than many people do all day. 🤗

The guilt is about being judged.
It’s the fear someone will notice you left.
That you’ll be seen as less committed...
Less serious, less deserving of the seat you earned.

And in all of this, one of the harshest truths I’ve realized is that…

It’s not their voice. It’s the one we were trained to hear.
We’ve internalized decades of “always on” culture so deeply…
We punish ourselves before anyone else even gets the chance.

A few years ago, I again picked up T again early.
We got ice cream and talked about his day.

And nothing at work fell apart.
Was I still feeling anxious? Yes, I was checking my Slack in between. 

But did I feel as guilty as before. NO.

To all the mamas out there… If this sounds familiar to you, I want you know this
Your guilt doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.

Your guilt is proof our hustle culture has trained you to feel wrong...
Simply for having a life. You are an amazing mom and an amazing leader.

♻️ Share this if you’re a working mom fighting these feelings too.
And if this hit home, you might want to hit follow.

Helping 1B women rise as leaders or founders | Ex-Atlassian | FREE workshop on Jan 19 (sign up below)👇

I used to get praised in every single job I’ve had.
But the promotions always went to a “Dave” or a “John.” 🤢 

I was seen as someone who was “trusted,” “reliable,” and a “doer.”
So every time something important came up.
My name was first on the list.
Because they knew I’d deliver it well.

For the first few years in my career, being the “workhorse” actually worked.
It got me my first 3 promotions.

By the time I reached Senior Manager levels,
That praise became the very thing that held me back.
I was now the “execution machine.”

So when I brought up promotion, I kept hearing the same thing:
“Bosky, you’re the best. Once you become more strategic, the promotion is all yours.” 💔 

And then, to “support” me, Dave, my peer was assigned as my mentor.
Because he was somehow the strategic one.

Dave was charming. A big talker.
But he handed a lot of his work to his mentees…
80% of whom were women. 

I felt used.
Blindsided.
Invisible.

The hardest part wasn’t hearing the NO’s.
It was realizing I was following every rule…
And somehow it still wasn’t enough.

After 5 promotion denials, I knew something needed to change. 

So I changed how I was managing my career:
1/ Think, operate and speak in the exec language
2/ Go beyond impact. Work commercially (with confidential numbers)
3/ Build 3–5 exec level sponsors across the business

These 3 levers shift how decision makers talk about you in talent reviews.
And that is where promotions actually happen.
And this changed everything for me.

I stopped trying to “speak up more.”
Stopped saying yes to extra work.
Stopped pretending to be extroverted just to fit the mold.

Instead, I started getting invited into the right rooms.
Even during reorgs.
Even with leadership changes.

Eventually, I was promoted to General Manager and Company President.
I was tapped for multiple C-Level roles. 

Since then, I’ve coached 5,000+ women globally rise even when things are stacked against them.

And I promise you: My clients say, they will never go back to the over-delivering, over-working “doer.” 

Because without these 3 shifts, you will keep working harder, burning out, and still hearing: “You’re not strategic enough.”

Just last month alone:
✅ Elle was promoted to VP after 6 years of overworking
✅ Neha was recognized by her CEO and promoted to Director
✅ Sarah made a 2-level jump with a $200K comp increase

That’s 3 major client wins. 🙌 🥰 
All using the same levers I teach inside my LIVE, hands-on workshop.
The shift from being the trusted doer -> a strategic leader…
 
 Get the same training that 5,000+ women have used to rise once and for all.
(It’s been voted “a MUST” for every woman in corporate.”) 💪
 And I’m incredibly proud of that.

Join my next LIVE session - https://lnkd.in/gz6S4C5H

During a crisis, leadership roles still tilt toward men and the psychology behind it is terrifying 👇

Reut Itzkovitch-Malka's 2024 study revealed something that as women we have always felt.

When uncertainty hits, people instinctively default to men as leaders.

None of this happens because of experience or competence or lack of it.
But because stress disrupts the brain’s ability to recognize capability.
And when cortisol spikes, human’s old programming takes over.

Here’s how this shows up for so many women in real life:
1/ A woman can spend years building credibility and results.
2/ And it takes only one crisis for decision-makers forget it in a week.

I hear versions of this every week in tech, finance, education and even government. This happened to me too.

Years ago, I said yes to a crisis assignment that everyone else refused.
I walked in thinking, “If I fix this, people will finally see what I’m capable of.”

But halfway through I realized: I was never meant to succeed. 💔 
I was the scapegoat for a mess that had been brewing long before I showed up.

And when the situation inevitably blew up because it was never salvageable…
A man was immediately brought in as the “steady hand.”

This is when I realized that in a crisis, women don’t become less competent. People simply become worse at seeing competence.

Once you understand that, you start looking at your whole career differently.

Inside SheTrailblazes, we see a pattern consistently:
- Brilliant women get overlooked the moment there’s chaos.
- Less-experienced men suddenly get labeled “strong leadership material.”

It’s unfair BUT it’s also predictable.
And what’s predictable can be planned for.

You cannot out-perform unconscious bias when a system is under pressure.
But you can build influence, identity, and visibility before the pressure hits.

And that’s exactly what so many women inside SheTrailblazers are doing…
so when crisis arrives, their value doesn’t vanish with the stress.

P.S. Have you ever seen a capable woman be skipped for an opportunity during crisis?

#womenleadership #careergrowth #womenintech #careeradvancement #leadership

Women rarely pause to celebrate themselves.
But we never forget to celebrate everyone else’s milestones. 🤢 

And honestly?
For everything 2025 has demanded from us… I don’t need a science-backed explanation for why women avoid spotlighting our wins. 

I see it every day.
I’ve seen women leading multimillion-dollar businesses still apologize before sharing their accomplishments.

Somewhere along the way, we started confusing humility with shrinking.
We downplay.
We rush past our wins.
We tell ourselves “it’s not a big deal” and move on to the next thing without taking a breath.

And THIS is exactly why I’m hosting our Year-End Virtual Celebration for women on Dec 11th. 🥳 💃 

We only do this once a year and the energy in the room is always unreal.

Most of us won’t give ourselves even one hour to celebrate what we survived this year. Let’s not end the year like that.

Women deserve more than surviving day to day..

This is the space where we don’t apologize for our achievements.

We own them.
Together.

Come as you are.
Bring your favorite boba (or whatever feels comforting).
Join us for one lighthearted, inspiring hour with incredible women like you.

Let’s end this year that way loudly and unapologetically.

✨ Celebrate you here- https://luma.com/v1n6voaz

#womensupportingwomen #2025celebration #womenintech #womenfounders #womenleaders

I left my C-level role because I had a front-row seat to a problem no one wanted to admit. 💔 
Wickedly smart women were doing everything right… and still not rising.

That’s why I started SheTrailblazes.
Because it became impossible to look away.

And yesterday, this message from a woman who attended my September workshop reminded me exactly why I do this work:
1. Recognized by her leadership
2. Praised by a GM for strategic thinking
3. Getting promoted to Director in Feb

Followed by:
“NONE of this would have happened without your workshop.”
And:
“Every woman in tech MUST attend this.” 🥰 

As I’m prepping for my December 2nd workshop, this reminder couldn’t have come at a better time.

Because here’s the truth very few women hear honestly:
Hard work gives you more hard work.
But being seen as a strategic leader?
That requires a completely different set of skills.

The advice that helped early in your career...
 “Speak up more.”
 “Work more.”
 “Be confident.”
 “Find a mentor.”
 “Lean in.”
…has an expiry date.

At senior levels, decisions get made for entirely different reasons.

Executives don’t promote you for doing more.
They promote you when they’re confident you make them look like they made the smartest talent decision of the year.
And that shift requires two things...the two levers I teach over and over:

1. Engineer the right executive sponsors
Not mentors. Not allies. But exec sponsors who stake their political capital to insist on your growth.
You don’t “earn” sponsors by accident.
 You create them through the right conversations at the right altitude.

2. Communicate like someone operating two levels up
Your manager cares about how well you execute.
Executives care about how you think and operate commercially.
When your work reflects this you become sponsorable.

That’s when leaders stop seeing you as the "DOER" and start seeing you as someone who changes the business.

And that is exactly the transformation I’m preparing women for inside the Dec 2nd workshop.

Every day I speak to women who are exhausted from repeating the same year over and over.

If 2026 is the year you want to rise differently, I hope you join me and the most amazing women who already are.

P.S. Do you want 2026 to be the year you rise? Tell me in the comments.

#careergrowth #careeradvancement #womenleadership #womenintech #leadership

This happened again (ahhhhhhhh)...
So I decided to do what I tell women to do.
Celebrate clients wins for November and December. 🥰

✅ 4 women got promoted
✅ 14 women went from being the “get sh!t done person” → strategic leaders
✅ 5 women landed their dream roles after months of navigating layoffs

(+ so many women crushing it as founders building revenue) 💃 💃💃

None of this was pure luck.
And it definitely wasn’t the result of doing more work.

At senior levels, we focus on 3 non-negotiables:
1️⃣ Reclaim how women communicate like executives
2️⃣ Think and operate commercially (this is where real leverage shows up)
3️⃣ Engineer executive-level sponsors across the business

After coaching thousands of women, I see this as a repeatable pattern.

While it’s easy to fall into the endless trap of:
 “do more work”
 “be more visible”
 “speak up more”
 “advocate harder”

I want to see women rise strategically without burning themselves out.

That’s exactly what the women above did.
And it’s the same playbook they used to get the results they wanted.

Get the exact strategies in my workshop for women - https://lnkd.in/gz6S4C5H

Now let’s do something important.
Fill the comments with unstoppable hype. Celebrate these wickedly smart women.

P.S. Tag a woman who deserves to be next. ❤️

The woman who forced Big Tech to rethink dominance. 
Her journey matters for your next chapter. 👀 

Here’s how Lina Khan’s career shows senior women’s unstoppable influence doesn’t require staying in 1 lane:

Lina Khan was born on March 3, 1989, in London. 
Her family moved to the US when she was 11. 
She studied political science at Williams College and graduated in 2010.
She was also editor of the student newspaper and completed a thesis on political thought. 
Later, she earned her law degree (J.D.) from Yale Law School in 2017.

The same year she published what became one of the most influential papers challenging Big Tech’s dominance. 
Her paper on Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox challenged how tech dominance was defined and how innovation gets blocked.

As a policy researcher, she observed that a few companies controlled entire sectors and the laws remained stuck in the past.

- She didn’t wait for permission or for someone to give her credibility.
- She used deep expertise and conviction to launch antitrust actions against tech giants like Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft as Chair of the Federal Trade Commission.

What I believe we, as women, can learn from her journey is:
1/ You don’t need to stay in the same job or title to make an impact.
2. Your deep knowledge matters most when you decide to act on it.

"Strategic Influence" happens when you identify a "system failing" and show how we will fix it.

Lina’s path reminds us that at the senior level you’re not just a leader in your domain. You can be a re-definer of your domain.

If you’re a senior woman wondering where your next chapter leads, remember that the map you need does not exist yet.

You can be the one to draw it.

P.S. Which part of Lina’s story resonates most with you?

6 brilliant women changed the world. 
None got the credit they deserved. 🤢 

Their stories matter for every senior woman who has ever been overlooked or underestimated.

1. Colette
She wrote four bestselling novels including the Claudine series under a pen name of her husband’s that made him famous while she stayed invisible.
Years later she rebuilt her career under her name and got nominated for Nobel.

Lesson: Your talent is not defined by who gets the spotlight first.

2. Margaret Keane
For nearly a decade her husband sold her paintings as his own. She worked 16-hour days behind closed doors until she finally proved the truth in court by painting live.

Lesson: Your work speaks louder than theft. It just needs the right stage.

3. Jocelyn Bell Burnell
She discovered radio pulsars, one of the greatest findings in astrophysics. Her male colleagues won the Nobel Prize without mentioning her.

Lesson: Being overlooked does not erase your brilliance. It exposes flawed systems.

4. Lise Meitner
She co-discovered nuclear fission, but her colleague won the Nobel alone. Her contribution was written out of history for decades.

Lesson: You can be the mind behind the breakthrough even if others take the credit. Truth outlasts bias.

5. Rosalind Franklin
Her X-ray photos proved the structure of DNA, yet her male peers published first and got the Nobel.
Her work was the foundation. They got the legacy.

Lesson: Doing the foundational work is leadership, even when unrecognized.

6. Esther Lederberg
She advanced bacterial genetics, but her husband took the spotlight.
He won the Nobel and never mentioned her once.

Lesson: Shared work is not shared recognition. Build a career where your name is tied to your impact.

Here is what these stories tell senior women today:
💔 Your contributions may get overlooked.
💔 Your ideas may get taken.
💔 Your leadership may get minimized.

But history shows this clearly.
Women have always been talented. They just were not always given the credit.

If you are a senior woman shaping your next chapter, remember this:
Your work deserves your name on it. 💖 🙌 

P.S. If you want to build a career where your work, leadership, and influence are unmistakably tied to your name, my newsletter breaks down real strategies senior women use to rise with clarity and power.

Yale analyzed thousands of manager evaluations across multiple companies.
Another team studied ~30,000 promotion documents at a major U.S. retailer.

Both studies found the same thing:
Women weren’t underperforming.
In fact, they received higher performance ratings on average.

Yet they were still…
14% less likely to be promoted each year. 🤢 

Here’s what the data makes it impossible for women to ignore:
→ Managers consistently underestimate women’s leadership potential.
Not performance. Potential.

At the retail chain, women made up 56% of entry-level roles.
But at every rung, their numbers dropped.
Why?

Because managers assumed men would grow into leadership faster.

This is one of the biggest reasons why SheTrailblazes was born 7 years ago.

Even when women outperform men later, their potential scores stay lower.
The ceiling never fully resets.
Their upside stays invisible.
Their long-term value is underestimated even when the results say otherwise.

This is the moment so many women realize that merit and hard work alone don’t move us forward.

And the problem isn’t “confidence.”
It isn’t “speaking up.”
It isn’t “leaning in.”

The real problem is the perception of future value.

Here’s one shift I see that moves women forward the fastest inside SheTrailblazes:

You cannot wait for people to notice your potential. You must pre-frame it.**
I call this “The Pre-Framing Rule”. 👀 

It sounds like:
“Here’s how this work ladders into next year’s strategy…”
“Here’s why this decision unlocks X for the business…”
“Here’s the longer-term opportunity this creates…”

These is how strategic framing works that signals:
You already thinking, operating and communicating at the next level.

Because if you don’t shape the story of your future value, someone else will and the data shows they will always underestimate it.

Rooting for you! 🙌 

P.S. What do YOU think signals future potential of someone?

$90B in AI debt. $3.5B in funding. 13k layoffs. Here are the shifts senior women can’t ignore this week.

The AI industry is moving faster than most leaders can track.

Here are the 10 shifts senior women in tech should know this week.

1. Big Tech is taking on massive debt to fund AI.
Hyperscalers have issued nearly ninety billion dollars in bonds since September to finance AI infrastructure. Analysts expect AI capex to hit $600 billion by 2027.

2. Microsoft just made AI agents enterprise infrastructure.
At Ignite 2025, they announced Agent 365 and deeper Copilot integrations. Governance, security, and budget planning for agents are now board-level responsibilities.

3. Google is warning about an AI bubble while regulators step back.
Pichai has raised concerns about overheated valuations and energy costs. At the same time, the EU is delaying parts of its AI Act, shifting compliance timelines for global tech teams.

4. Foxconn and OpenAI are doubling down on U.S. hardware.
They announced a collaboration to co-design data centre hardware with billions in manufacturing investments.

5. Cyber incidents are now a supply chain problem.
Recent breaches highlight how OAuth scopes, vendor integrations, and third-party tools are becoming the core of CISO and CIO risk conversations.

6. AI employment laws are happening state by state.
Several U.S. states introduced bills on algorithmic hiring, bias audits, and workplace monitoring. Cross-functional AI governance is becoming a strategic leadership muscle.

7. Verizon announced its biggest layoff ever.
More than thirteen thousand roles are being cut to free capital for network and automation investments.

8. Tech layoffs remain high across mid-sized firms.
More than seventeen thousand tech workers were laid off in a single week this month. Senior women cannot rely on one employer’s AI narrative to secure long-term resilience.

9. AI funding is still strong.
November alone crossed three and a half billion dollars in global AI startup funding. Infra and workflow automation are leading the way.

10. New power seats are emerging inside companies.
AI governance councils. Vendor risk committees. Transformation offices that report to the CEO. These seats are becoming the real pipelines to COO, CIO, and CEO tracks.

If you are a senior woman in tech, this is your moment to step toward roles that cut across the whole business, not just your function.

The companies betting big on AI need leaders who can bridge people, policy, and product.

Which of these shifts will matter most in your company? Comment the number.
