From PowerPoint to Turning Point

In this week’s Success Matters episode, I’m joined by  Andie Henrich whose story weaves together a rich mix of cultures: an Italian father who grew up in Vietnam and a mother from Argentina with Spanish and Indigenous South American roots.

After more than 20 years in global roles at IBM and Infosys, Andie stepped away from the corporate fast lane to build her own coaching practice, Authenticity Ignited. Her journey is marked by bold choices, cultural curiosity, and a redefinition of what success can mean.

We covered:

• Why cultural awareness starts with assuming nothing

• The impact of burnout and AI on her decision to leave corporate life

• Redefining success beyond KPIs and promotions

• Her reflections on missing her son’s first steps while chasing career milestones

• Challenging the story around ageing with her idea of “unfolding”

Andie’s story is a powerful reminder that stepping into your own definition of success often means rewriting the rules.
