We Are So Much More

Succeeding in business and in life as a woman is a challenge. Many women, especially women of color, have sacrificed relationships, interests, personal growth, and even their health to advance their careers.

Aster Angagaw is an Ethiopian-American Black woman who put herself through college and eventually became CEO of Healthcare North America at Sodexo and then President of ServiceMaster Brands—both multibillion-dollar companies.

We Are So Much More features eighteen other remarkable female executives across ten countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America—global leaders from Adidas, Herman Miller, Mars Inc., Amgen, Sodexo, CBS, General Electric, and more. All share their stories and speak openly about their choices, setbacks, and regrets.

This book integrates these amazing stories, including Aster's own, and distills their collected global wisdom around seven essential dimensions that hold the key to having it all. Across countries, class, and color, when we live with intention, We Are So Much More.
