Woman of the Week (WOW): Amy Wilde - The Channel Company
Please join us in celebrating Amy Wilde, Director of Data & Research with The Channel Company as our Woman of the Week!
Join us in the coffee shop as we get to know Amy - because that’s what we do when the power goes out right before the interview!
Celebrating Amy’s impactful contributions, including her leadership in the Women of the Channel data survey, the interview offers an intimate look into her journey, resilience, and leadership philosophy.
Amy shares how her entrepreneurial spirit emerged at age 12, selling chocolate chip cookies, and how early doubts from others, including a dismissive professor, fueled her determination to succeed in tech. She recounts pivotal moments of overcoming self-doubt and highlights the transformative power of support and belief, whether from a mentor or a colleague. A touching childhood memory of her sister’s courageous act of rescuing a drowning child illustrates Amy’s deep-seated belief in the importance of uplifting others, especially women.
Drawing on her diverse experiences in data, research, and marketing, Amy outlines her leadership philosophy with the acronym WIN: taking Willing risks, leading with Integrity, and Knowing the numbers. She emphasizes authenticity, kindness, and the role of women as cheerleaders for one another.
The episode concludes with Jacquie celebrating Amy’s transparency, authenticity, and dedication to championing women in the tech and channel industries, leaving the audience inspired to lead with courage and support others along the way.
