Fireside Chat with Assistant Leader Phoenix Normand

Phoenix has supported game-changing CEOs in Finance, Retail, Tech, and Aerospace for 27 years as a top-earning and top-producing C-suite, Executive Assistant.

Phoenix spoke at our Empower 2020 Conference, hosting one of our most engaging panels.
In this fireside chat, Phoenix will discuss the contents of his book, “AS I SEE IT: Volume 1: Business.”

“AS I SEE IT” is a blatantly honest account of business today written from the perspective of a 50-year old, Black, gay, male Executive Assistant who supported some of the nation’s top executives in Finance, Tech, Retail and Aerospace challenging business and societal norms to become one of the most respected administrative professionals in the field.
During his 27 years in the C-suite, Phoenix Normand witnessed the rise and fall of Dot Com 1.0, survived two (near) heart attacks, even designed the pitchbook for the investment bank that eventually took Amazon.com public.
