Shanetta McDonald Season 3 Episode 49

Silicon Valley’s first female African American CEO Shellye Archambeau invigorates women of color to live unapologetically ambitious–in our personal and professional lives. 

An experienced CEO and Board Director with a track record of accomplishments building brands, high performance teams, and organizations, Shellye currently serves on the boards of Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, and Okta. 

She is the author of 'Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers and Create Success on Your Own Terms,' a book that will help professionals achieve their aspirations and create the life they want. Shellye is also a sought-after speaker on governance, risk and compliance as well as marketing and entrepreneurship and has guest lectured at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and The Wharton School of Business. She has been featured or referenced in major publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes and the Financial Times. 

In this week’s episode, Shellye and host Shanetta McDonald cover:

  • How living with intention every day can get us closer to our goals.
  • Creating a life in which we are ready for opportunities when they present themselves.
  • The leverage we have as women of color in the workplace and how we can use it to our advantage.
