Amy Giddon, former President of Rushcard and Vice President of American Express turned entrepreneur, shares how she took her opporutunity at Bain & Compan early on in her career as a shortcut to advance her career in Bain and later to Vice President of Amercian Express without a business degree or an MBA.

To play the game in the Career Jungle Gym, Amy emphasizes the important of cultivating diverse netowrks, especially for women, for building coalitions, support and advocacy.

She also shares how being the President of a late-stage startup, UniRush had prepared her to transition into entrepreneurship, and why her work now is her reward.

Our conversation in this episode is a bit longer than usual. You'll hear Amy shares a lot of her career roadmaps, strategies and how she connected the dots to start her startup, Daily Haloha.

The Book Amy mentioned in the show: Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein.
