“Opportunity, and then 94% of the women say being around other ambitious women fuels their own ambition and their work. I love that too. So chief's experience as being a nexus for network, I think is a really, it's a very exciting direction for us.”

“I left a corporate job. I tried to find something. I looked for two years. And then through an experience and a couple of collaborations at Chief, I decided to start something on my own. And now I've got a known business. I have my first investor. And those kind of stories of resilience, renewal, and rethinking and reframing and not losing your juice in the process. I think it's good for women to be in spaces where that is celebrated and heard because it just is like a shot in the arm and then you're out to continue your work. I do think that networks are the new power source. And in the future of work, whatever that is going to look like, networks are going to come even more and more important in helping define that. And I, you know, there is some, there are some stats that we had from that survey. 93% of women believe they have the collective power to build new tables and center of influence and opportunity.”

“I think having a space and place of calm. planning, connectedness, recognition of the journey, I think reminding women of resilience, resilience in the face of change. If you sit around and listen to headlines all the time, you certainly would feel like there are not those stories of resilience and innovation and creativity. And every day I hear that at Chief about women who are like, well,”

“Folks want to see, and those die hard people that love the HBO experience, and you do everything you can to deliver it. That's a service worth paying for. You know, a membership should be something worth paying for that, every couple ways along the way. Oh, I got some value out of that. Or I look ahead, like this is a classic HBO example, right? Where Game of Thrones is launching in September, we start talking about it in February. Because instead of churning out in March or April, because your Game of Thrones isn't on, you'll stick around. that sort of building things anticipatory for people to remind them of their value in their today experience, their past experience, and then what's on the path for the future. I think of all these experiences as like a tapestry of things that I can pull from periodically.”

“Yeah, I do, actually, and it's really funny, we've been thinking about some changes to the service structure and what that looked like and the communication of it and adding more value back to sort of your investment in chief. That was right straight out of cable packaging mindset or HBO, which we, you know, certainly in the point that I was there and on the digital side, thinking about the idea of consumer experience, like that we centered in consumer experience, you think about what”

“I never thought about that like that. Yeah. Yeah. Curated. Yeah. So, I guess in the HBO analogy, it's sort of like the original content, sports documentaries, comedy, whatever variations of original content always had to be original content.”

“We are not exclusive as much as we're intentional. You know, the conversations that senior women leaders hold, there's a baseline to kind of entry to make sure that the membership is connected across Navigating the complexities of modern leadership, there's a benchmark of leadership experience. And then now we've actually opened Our model to have a range of broader range of experiences. You know, I think not just only the corporate seat, but the corporate seat and the founder, the builder, the solopreneur seat. And as long as the persons of a leadership level, those who have found themselves recently in transition to be able to kind of rebuild or re join another corporate piece?”

“Of that desire for chief leaders to make sure they're having conversations with Human beings as we think about what's next. It's amazing how much more value is being put into the real roots of community. To do business and further business, but also to touch base and find balance and to see of business chaos.”

“I think there's some pragmatism in AI tariffs returned to office that all women leaders have as a piece of topic. And by the way, there's a dynamism to all three of those topics that, you know, how are you doing? What are you doing? Just kind of checking in on that from the fundamentals. So I feel like the conversations that women at Chief are thinking about is like, okay, where are the pragmatics that we can learn and just sort of fortify my business, whatever that happens to be across the things that we know are common things that we're all facing in AI is definitely of a huge interest for our chief leaders for sure. But then I think there's also kind of a personal response to all the volatility, right? Like what do I need in my toolbox to kind of best fortify my ability to handle whatever's coming? One of the things we talk about a lot, this sort of artificial intelligence and human intelligence and this sort of duality between the two, there's a lot.”

“I have experienced TV, music, publishing platforms, small digital startup companies, big corporate companies, now social impact. And the survey, which was really interesting, they hold two to three professional identities. This was me when I was sitting in a corporate seat. You're in a corporate role. You might be in an investor. You might be sitting on a board. I mean, I think it's sort of like blows up the idea that women kind of track in and then that's it. When we put out that language both in the survey and we put it out in social and kind of with our members, there are so many people who are like, I feel seen with that word, as clunky as it is, because they've had to explain like, well, why'd you move from this industry to that industry to this? And it's been additive to their career journey, but it always has to be explained.”

“Multi-women terminology, which is clunky and maybe like a better branding person would have said, don't even use that. But that is how I have described myself for years.”

“Listen, I think for women in leadership roles, there is a place and a time for being together and learning from each other that's just different. It's additive. The conversations are because a woman's kind of career journey is tied to that 360 view of who they are in life. It just makes those conversations. Different, but not necessarily. I mean, I've been in multiple coworking environments where it's male, female. That all great too. I'm a big believer in the both and. I really am.”

“Of things that senior women, leaders, think through. What do I need as a corporate executive? I may be coming and joining chief looking for like where can I learn about best practices from an industry sector that's different than mine? And that might be a goal for me to just expand my mind so I can bring that back in a leadership position. What is your business doing around RTO and with young people and resistance, et cetera? I can learn from that. What are you doing for best practices for AI? How are you leading your teams for all those things? How do I find investors? Where's the right place to get a seed round? But identifying at the top end, are you in a corporate seed? Are you in a founder seat? Are you looking to kind of go in between one of them is a good sort of clarifying? And those are really only three or four vectors that we have to flag somebody's special interest.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand, but these are all women leaders, and there are a common set of components, right, that folks are thinking about. So you talk about tariffs or you talk about RTO or you talk about Gen Z or you talk about AI. I mean, there are big chunky things that everybody, I don't care where they're sitting, they're thinking about. So there's a commonality to that. It's not everything, we're not a one-to-one personalization service. And I think the thesis is, and it's proven true, that there are a”

“I definitely think it's Different depending on who you are and where you are. And I think that's one of the things in this latest kind of relaunch of our service is that we're paying recognition to. What you need to get out of something like chief may differ, not only at the point in time in which you enter, but as you traverse through that experience, you know?”

“Nine locations across the country. We've had members come, and it's in real life, and they're like rallies. And I get so much energy out of these things. It's unbelievable. We have some speakers, some programming, but it's really about this kind of connecting energy between chiefs with other chiefs. Big corporate people talking to founders of small things, folks who are in transition, all senior leaders in various parts of their journey. And these large rallies are definitely IRL. And then peppered between that are the right size virtual experiences. My next sort of tranche of focus is really on the digital experience, the chief app, the chief digital experience in terms of like, how do we make that as best of a member companion, the networking piece, the connections piece, you know, whether it was the LinkedIn analogy that Carolyn met. I mean, that's where that really comes to life, but it comes to life in service of a lot of in real life experiences across multiple use types.”
2025-12-02 · Masters of Scale · Embrace the multihyphenate career, with Chief’s Alison Moore · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“What I think about, Chief, today, and I think that was a very accurate description that Carolyn gave when that started. I think we've morphed into this space where there are A couple different components. There are intimate experiences. By that, I mean small space experiences where you talk and see and share about leadership challenges. That can be in a virtual experience very rewarding. But in certain places and markets, we can make that happen in real life. It doesn't have to be either or, right? Coaching, one-to-one coaching. So that happens on a virtual piece sometimes. That can be very rewarding. But if I'm going to have a cocktail party around, you know, other senior marketers, like that should be at the clubhouse in real life. I'm about to go to LA this week for my eighth and then San Francisco in two weeks for the ninth. Nine chief X's this year. And this is where”

“Scheming, meaning, like, you know, business scheming, partnering, collaborating. Differently now. I think the lid's off on a lot of that stuff for women, and you do feel the optimism coming out in this survey, even though I think there's a pragmatism in recognizing it is coming from disruption. But disruption does bring opportunity.”
2025-12-02 · Masters of Scale · Embrace the multihyphenate career, with Chief’s Alison Moore · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so economy is certainly always going to be a factor, but it's also like, look at industry consolidation. You can look at what's happening in the media business. You can look at what's happening across retail. You can look at what's happening in every vector. And it enters AI, which has a through line all the way across all of these industries and a common thread of like this duality of opportunity and threat of change. Is that wrong as a metaphor again for just career direction, not necessarily the corporate ladder as much as it is just the up A ladder? Is that the right path for me? Do I want other options? Do I want different kinds of flexibility? Do I have the sort of tools at my fingertips to actually do that? And that is what happens at Chief. And that's what's been very interesting for me to see and come back actually from a founding membership in 2019 to where we are today. Women are building.”

“women to be optimistic. This is the energy that you're feeling from conversation. And so the genesis of this poll was how do we validate that? And so in the women that we surveyed, they're citing that they're more ambitious now than ever. And in fact, they're energized by the professional growth ahead because they feel like they can have more optionality and more of a hand on the wheel of their own career design than what they used to have. This is where that metaphor of the latter and the stay rung to rung to rung and keep the course and stay the path. And then something happens at the top. Everyone can see that's not necessarily the case anymore”

“There had been a slew of articles that had come out focusing on changes in the workforce and finding the negative nugget in there to kind of put that on blast. And I'm not denying that there aren't Those factors at hand. But, you know, the she session is coming. Women are being dumped out of the workforce. The return to office doesn't work for all women. And the polarity that we're in today of like big headlines being the only definition of, you know, we lose all nuance. And so for us, here I come in in February and I'm looking at this incredibly energetic chief membership and thinking, you know, this is what I'm seeing. I'm seeing people reacting and responding to change in ways that are innovative and curious and thought-provoking, this level of optimism that's sitting in chief, that they're communicating together. This is not just Chief telling.”

“There is certainly more scrutiny on things today, perhaps than there were in the past. I think at the end of the day, there's a desire for creating better, stronger leaders, better outcomes, better decision making, more agile thinking. While there are different contexts being held and conversations being held around DEI and the nuances of that, the truth is when you cut through the big headlines, the realities remain the same, which is like supporting leadership at a time of high velocity of change is always beneficial. And we happen to build that in a way that supports women leaders. And I think there's a lot of support for that.”

“Family support, bookending support. That sort of thing does affect women's journeys, whether it's like in a small way or whether it's in a large way. So I think the routes can be different, and that's okay. But then where's that place where you have support and community and recognition of that? And then all to just kind of better and further your ability to do the work. For me, it's always been about the work, the how we need support during that work is a very important conversation to have.”

“Every woman leader in a leadership position thinks about Obstacles, just like every, you know, I think every leader that you start to ascend into different ranks or different sorts of experiences, you have different leadership challenges. I mean, I think that holds well for women men, you know, across the board. I had great mentors, men and women for me coming from and a way back Turner into HBO, of course, NBCU. I really did. So I felt like that wasn't a topic I was necessarily putting out there that I was having issue with, but I recognize that there were certain things about a women's leadership journey that were unique. That's for sure. Personal expectations in life are different for women often.”

“Kind of confluence of all these experiences I've had over all this time. I was a founding chief member in 2019, so it felt resonant to me to kind of come back and bring my list of ideas to the forefront there. And I think, you know, on a personal level, I have a 20-year-old daughter who is navigating all the things that one navigates at 20 years old and will be entering the workforce and thinking about that. And if I can have a little bit of A space around women's leadership and what's next and how to best build bridges and opportunity for them. That's time well spent for me.”

“It's It is helping amplify and support women leaders, senior women leaders. I certainly by age at least have lifted to that level of rank, bringing people together, networking the power of community. And certainly that relates to my comic relief work. that relates to bringing together community in terms of platforms of experience, you know, whether it's at SoundCloud or the brands I conde Nast or HBO or Daily Candy and NBC Universal when our founders, Carolyn and Lindsay, were ready to kind of hand the baton off.
