Paige Powers - Fortinet - Woman of the Week
In this week’s Woman of the Week, Jacquie Rives sits down with Paige Powers for a conversation that redefines what it truly means to lead with impact.
From her roots in the Pacific Northwest to her current role in Idaho, Paige brings both heart and humility to a career built on more than two decades of high-performance leadership. What sets her apart isn’t just her track record—it’s the evolution of her mindset. She candidly reflects on an early career driven by results alone, and the powerful shift she made to prioritize relationships, trust, and shared success. It’s a reminder that sustainable growth doesn’t come from going it alone—it comes from bringing others with you.
Beyond the boardroom, Paige’s passion for purpose shines just as brightly. Whether she’s leading teams in cybersecurity or helping rescue and rehome dozens of animals each year, her commitment to making a difference is unwavering. Her story is one of balance—between ambition and empathy, execution and empowerment.
One of the most memorable moments from the conversation? A marathon training experience that reshaped her perspective on competition and success, reinforcing the importance of seeking diverse viewpoints and embracing the “wisdom of the crowd.”
Grounded, insightful, and deeply people-first, Paige reminds us that leadership isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about the impact you leave on others along the way.
