Bozoma, currently the CMO of Netflix, defines hustle and authenticity. She’s worked at well-known brands ranging from Apple to Uber to Pepsi-Cola. While she’s had a diverse career at many different companies and has lived in various places across the US and Africa, one thing has remained unchanged–she’s always been true to who she is and has never conformed to try to fit in, which is a huge reason for her success. Aside from having important, corporate jobs, Bozoma also makes time to spend with her daughter, travel, and has her own side-hustle, The Badass Workshop, where she teachers women how to be, well, badasses.
One of the keys to Bozoma’s success has been following her intuition and not practicing patience. She says touting her own achievements and leaving a company when she’s not being valued or promoted have been keys to her success. She is OK with getting up and leaving because she knows she’s the best. She also believes in diverse perspectives and doesn’t surround herself with yes-people.
