Highly accomplished CMO and Advisor Andrea Hogan shares her journey in leading major go-to-market initiatives for an $11 billion region at Qualcomm, working with technology giants Google, Microsoft, Dell and HP building compelling, innovative ecosystems. Her leadership philosophy doesn't come from board rooms, it comes from unforgettable life experiences like walking 800 kilometers across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. carrying just 7 kilos in her backpack and her mother's journal. This walk represented the very critical leadership prioritization choices we must make. "The Camino strips life back to essentials. You realize how much of what we carry, not just in our backpacks, but in our lives, isn't truly essential." Being an impactful leader is not about just about strategy and techical competency. It's about bringing an optimistic mindset every day in inspiring and creating future generations of great leaders. "Leadership isn't about being followed. It's about creating more leaders. The greatest measure of your success is how many people rise because of you."
