Episode notes
Episode 59 of Executive Careers with Fexingo digs into the mechanics of late-career pivots for senior leaders. Lucas and Luna examine the case of a former Fortune 500 CFO who moved into a COO role at a mid-cap growth company at age 58. They break down the three specific things she did to signal adaptability without seeming desperate: how she reframed her narrative, how she targeted a specific pain point the new company had, and how she negotiated a transition role that protected her compensation. The episode also addresses the hidden risk of age bias in executive search, and why a pivot might be safer than staying put. Practical, specific, and built for leaders who are thinking about their next chapter on their own terms. #SeniorLeaders #CareerPivot #ExecutiveCareers #LateCareerStrategy #CFOtoCOO #CareerTransition #AgeBias #ExecutiveSearch #NarrativeFraming #CompensationNegotiation #LeadershipRoles #CareerStrategy #Business #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ExecutivePodcast #CareerAdvice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
