13. Allison Whaley: Redefining Success with Courage and Empowering Women with Bothered Stories

Allison Whaley is a Career Breaker.

After spending over a decade in product marketing for VC-funded FinTech startups, Allison rose to a director role and became a sought-after industry speaker. Yet, she reached a point where success, as traditionally defined, no longer resonated.
