Shellye Archambeau was one of the first ever Black female CEOs in the tech industry. She is a Silicon Valley leader, a Board member, and author of the inspiring book; Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms.

From the very start of her extraordinary career, Shellye had a clear vision: she wanted to be a CEO. Through her ambition, resilience, and continuous pursuit of growth, she achieved her aspirations and is now inspiring others to take ownership of their careers and achieve their dreams. 

Today on The Wallet:

2/ You’ll find out how to build confidence when it comes to negotiating your salary, and how Shellye has navigated asking for more in her career - even when it felt uncomfortable. 

3/ We discuss Shellye’s relationship with money and the role it plays in her life, and how her upbringing formed the money mindset she has kept with her to this day.
