With three decades of experience scaling companies from scrappy pre-IPO startups to Fortune 500 powerhouses, she\u2019s built a reputation for strategic acumen, creative drive, and delivering results that actually move the needle. At Confluent, ServiceNow, NetApp, and beyond, she\u2019s led high-performance teams across corporate marketing, revenue operations, demand generation, and strategic communications - always with the courage to ask the questions no one else will. In midlife, Angela pivoted from the C-suite to consulting and storytelling, channeling her leadership chops into a mission: reclaiming the narrative for women navigating hot flashes, career shifts, hormone havoc, empty-nest chaos, long-distance love, reinvention after divorce, and identity redrawn post-55. Her Substack and forthcoming book blend gritty memoir with expert insight, creating a no-BS guide for women who refuse to shrink. Speaking to a generation that\u2019s held it all together - for kids, partners, and careers - Angela champions the unapologetic pursuit of a life directed on your own terms. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she splits her time between there and Australia. Mom to three boys and stepmom to four more, she\u2019s building a movement for women who want hot takes, true stories, and fearless advice - served with wit, grit, and zero apologies from those who\u2019ve lived it.
