Shellye Archambeau, one of the pioneering female African American CEOs in high tech, shares empowering wisdom in her leadership book. Aimed at readers of Dare to Lead and Start with Why, it offers a blueprint for achieving personal and professional goals. Drawing from her own compelling story, Archambeau recounts her journey as a young black woman, wife, and mother navigating challenges while climbing the ranks at IBM and later as CEO. The book vividly captures the Silicon Valley landscape in the early 2000s, showcasing the risks she took and strategies employed to steer her family, career, and company, MetricStream, toward success.

Archambeau emphasizes that ambition alone is insufficient for success. In this book, she shares practical strategies, tools, and approaches to dismantle impostor syndrome, plan long-term, take risks, develop financial literacy, build a network, establish a reputation, take charge of your career, and integrate work, marriage, parenthood, and self-care. Each chapter provides key takeaways and actionable steps to increase the likelihood of achieving personal and professional goals.

Through relatable personal stories and a foreword by venture capitalist and New York Times bestselling author Ben Horowitz, Unapologetically Ambitious encourages readers to break free from the expectations of solely supportive roles and learn how to navigate the fine line between assertiveness and aggression. It empowers individuals to embrace their ambitions and pursue their dreams, ultimately achieving success on their terms.
