After decades of building and leading at Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and multiple early-stage companies, I wanted something different. I wasn't tired of working, but I was tired of being a mercenary for someone else's vision. I wanted to be the author of my own. I have been working on a passion project for a couple of years, and today I am excited to launch my podcast: “Zero to Prove.” I have spent major parts of my career inside great companies. I had the privilege of serving as an executive at some of the world’s most iconic tech companies, and I held senior executive roles in the US and internationally. I have been a CEO, started companies, and been on public and private boards in the US and Europe. I have been very fortunate to have incredible opportunities, to work alongside amazing people, and to be part of the major tech revolutions of the past 40 years But most of this journey was based on executing what someone else had imagined. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I loved it. But after my last corporate role, I needed a change. I needed to pursue more of my own goals and passions. That shift did not mean “retiring.” Instead, the shift was a redefinition of what success looked like. Instead of pouring all of my energy into a single company, I set out to build a more diverse life with a deeper focus on my family and a deeper commitment to contributions grounded in my own passions. That journey has led me to create “Zero To Prove”. Zero To Prove is a podcast for anyone who has reached an inflection point, as I did—that moment after you have succeeded on your own terms and are ready for something different. There is no real playbook for this transition, especially for people later in their careers. We know the traditional path: Go to school. Build your resume. Climb the ladder. But what happens after you achieve a level of professional success where you no longer need to prove anything to others? What happens when your focus becomes proving things to yourself? That is the question at the heart of Zero to Prove. On the show, I talk with people who have built successful careers and THEN made a conscious shift; those who found meaning after achievement and decided to make professional contributions rooted in values and passion. When you have nothing to prove to others, you're free to build something that truly matters to you. If you are deep in your career and quietly asking, “What is next?”, ZTP can act as a guide, a community, and a source of inspiration.
