Recently, we had the pleasure of seeing Maggie Chan Jones take the stage in Dallas as our Keynote Speaker for The Transformational CMO Assembly. Attendees got a glimpse into her story, From CMO to Entrepreneurship and the Board Room. We are very excited to share her story further. Cara Bernstein, host of Millennium Live: A Digital Diary Podcast, had the chance to sit down with Maggie to chat about everything from transforming the brand of SAP while she was their Global CMO, best practices for getting on a board, leadership as a female executive and of course, her company Tenshey, a startup with a mission to advance gender diversity and leadership through executive coaching.

About Tenshey, Inc.
Tenshey, Inc. is a tech-enabled startup dedicated to advancing gender diversity through personalized executive and career coaching services. Pronounced “ten-she,” the company’s name is derived from the Japanese word for “angels” because leaders thrive when they have a strong support system of angels including coaches, mentors and sponsors. Tenshey was founded by Maggie Chan Jones, the first female CMO of SAP and named one of the world’s most influential CMOs by Forbes. Maggie realized that her ascension to the C-suite in the male-dominated tech industry was rare and shouldn’t be. It is Tenshey’s mission to change that.
Members benefit from Maggie’s experiences in the C-suite and her team of personally selected, certified executive coaches. Tenshey coaches support a wide range of industries and offer a unique collection of perspectives to drive high-performing, diverse and inclusive workplaces.
