Want to listen to the full interview with Ann Hiatt? Visit http://justindonald.com/180

Today, I’m thrilled to be talking with Ann Hiatt – a seasoned Silicon Valley veteran boasting 15 years of invaluable experience serving as the right hand to some of the tech world’s most prominent figures – including Google’s Eric Schmidt, Yahoo!’s Marissa Mayer, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.

Ann now consults with executives and companies around the world, helping them to grow, scale, and innovate to increase revenue, attract the right investors, hire competitive talent, and align internal growth strategies. She also shows them how she reinvented her role at Google three times during 12 years and how any employee can act as an Intrapreneur and create opportunities for professional growth and advancement regardless of their current title or seniority.

Ann also authored the bestselling book, “Bet on Yourself: Recognize, Own, and Implement Breakthrough Opportunities” which uncovers the daily habits and long-game strategies she learned working side-by-side for decades with the giants of technology at Amazon and Google.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ How Ann pivoted from pursuing a career as a professor to becoming Jeff Bezos’ Executive Business Partner – and the story of how she nearly killed him!

✅ The character traits that set unicorn founders apart and the strategies that enable them to build iconic companies.

✅ The leadership and mindset lessons Ann picked up from working alongside Marissa Mayer, Jeff Bezos, and Eric Schmidt.
