Sylvia has dug deep to share a personal story of humble beginnings, a searing tragedy and the resilience which powered her storied career in tech and beyond. Her actionable advice will help all rising stars accelerate their own path to the top and along the way, readers will be inspired by a brave, wise, and empathetic guide. I read an advance copy of the book in one sitting and hope you will pick it up to see how a leader achieved her destiny and find strategies to fulfill your own!
