Workshop: Becoming CEO of Your Career

In this hands-on session, Nicole McNamara walks participants through how great CEOs actually run companies and how to apply the same discipline to a career: a founder story that makes people lean in, a go-to-market plan, a personal board of directors, and a clear read on your runway. Great CEOs tell a story about where their company is going and why they’re the one to take it there. Your career deserves the same treatment. You’ll leave with:

– Your founder story: a 60-second career narrative that makes your path make sense, told out loud and sharpened in real time
– A career go-to-market map: the five channels every CEO works, and which ones you’re neglecting
– Your personal board of directors: the four people who should be in your corner

Nicole Wheeler McNamara
Head of AI GTM Power & Utilities, Google
Nicole McNamara has one of the more varied resumes in big tech: hospitality, gaming, non-profit leadership, entrepreneur, Salesforce Innovation and now AI at Google. That range isn’t a
collection of unrelated jobs, it’s the reason she’s good at what she does. Every industry teaches you to read a room differently, and Nicole has learned to translate between rooms that don’t naturally speak the same language, whether that’s a casino floor, a non-profit board, or a Fortune 500 executive team staring down a seismic technology shift.
