Scrappy Success & Global Perspectives: Abby Knowles' Recipe for Career Growth
In this episode, I talk with my long-time, dear friend, Abby Knowles about how being an immigrant to the US, leaving the safety net of family and community, has made her scrappy in personal and professional life. Valedictorian of our Engineering class, Abby is now Vice President Global Technology Solutions at Verizon Wireless. Abby shares with us how patience and “farming” play a role in career change, progression and advancement. Listen in to how Abby took advantage of her network of mentors, bosses and peers to inform your own career journey. A big dreamer, motivated and tenacious in her career journey, she embraces a global mindset and perspective and is an employee-centric leader.
