Ep #313: Take Back Your Power with former Ancestry.com CEO, Deb Liu

In this episode, I sit down with Deb Liu — founder, investor, advisor, former CEO of Ancestry.com, and creator of Facebook Marketplace — for a conversation about building relationships that actually matter, making sure your voice is heard in leadership rooms, and what it really takes to go from a small town in the South to leading some of the biggest names in tech. Deb breaks down the four types of allies every woman needs in her corner, why diverse viewpoints are a competitive advantage, and how tools like AI are changing the game for women who are ready to accelerate their careers. If you've ever felt like you were navigating the corporate world without a roadmap, this one's for you.
