Tech executives are brilliant at building products — but most are invisible outside the office, and it's costing them funding, talent, and market share. In this episode, I sit down with Shayna Davis, founder of the Executive Signals Group and a 21-year veteran in executive communication, to break down why executive presence isn't just a soft skill — it's a business growth strategy.

💡 What you'll learn:

- Why tech leaders have a communication competency gap that kills deals

- The difference between executive presence and executive influence (and why it matters for your career)

- Shayna's 3-part framework: Leadership Identity → Leadership Branding → Leadership Messaging

- The one LinkedIn section you're completely wasting right now

- Why investors say: "I'm betting on the person, not the product"

- The Mike Tyson communication trap — and why most tech leaders fall right into it

🚨 Shayna's most important lesson: "Visibility without credibility is expensive."

Whether you're a CTO, VP of Engineering, or a founder preparing to raise your next round — this episode is your playbook for building trust before you need it.
