Liz Matthews is the Senior Vice President of Global Brand, Creative & Experiential Marketing at Dell. Her Why Not Now? moment involves saying yes to joining the Renegade Accelerator program. Liz has found that, the higher up the corporate ladder you go, the less you invest in learning. She says joining a group of women from all different industries sparked her own innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.

 

On this episode of Why Not Now?, Liz talks to Amy Jo about how important a company's culture is to attracting talent. During this period of remote work, Liz and her team have seen the importance of creating a culture of connection. Liz shares a quick but impactful exercise she uses in meetings to create this connection.

 

Liz also talks about her experience leading the work stream for Dell when they acquired EMC, a $67 billion acquisition.

 

Liz and Amy Jo chat about how to be your truest self in any work environment, ego getting in the way of decision making, and overcoming imposter syndrome. They also connect over Austin, as Amy Jo just moved there and Liz has been there for over 20 years!
