Job career paths don't necessarily look the way they used to. The days of spending years at the same corporate job aren't as common. For Marianna, she spent 22 years at the same company. But what makes her story unique is the way she navigated through different areas and jobs at that company, learning new things. When she was ready for a new challenge, she took all her experience and join a new startup company.

Hear from her how that that transition went, what she learned, and the support she had to make it all happen!

In this episode we discuss
  • How Marianna navigated the male-dominated field of supply chain and trucking logistics

  • The strategies she used to build respect and effective communication within her corporate teams

  • The thought process behind her decision to leave the stability of a Fortune 50 company for a tech startup

  • Tips for balancing family life and career in the fast-paced startup environment
