What was your route to the top?

Amy Olli, SVP & General Counsel of VM Ware.

I was fortunate to work for exceptional leaders throughout my career—leaders who pushed me to take on different roles in legal, encouraged me to pursue assignments outside of the U.S. and prioritized business and leadership training. The sponsorship I received along the way taught me the importance of helping others achieve their potential. And I recognize now that the investments I made in my teams have been a fundamental part of my success. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on delivering impact—finding creative and practical solutions to difficult legal challenges. These have included every legal challenge you can imagine from working to avoid bankruptcy, to restructuring, to taking a company public. Learning from each of these made me a stronger lawyer and leader.
