Shaz Kahng has been a scientist, a consulting partner, an e-commerce expert, an executive at Nike, and a brand & marketing strategist. She eventually became the CEO of multiple companies in the apparel, retail, footwear, sports, and technology sectors. Frustrated by the lack of successful, inspirational female business leaders in fiction, Shaz wrote and published a novel about women succeeding with smarts, scruples, and style. In this Talk, Shaz discusses her book The Closer, the first book in the Ceiling Smasher series. This series focuses on positive & powerful female leaders, fictionalizing Shaz' decades of top business experience and sharing a thrilling story about the first female CEO in the sports industry. Kahng's experience working in male-dominated boardrooms enabled her to provide a behind the scenes look at what it really takes for a woman and a person of color to shatter the glass ceiling.
