Episode notes

Today on the Take On Board podcast, I'm speaking with Tricia Montalvo Timm, about CEO succession planning. 


Tricia is on the board of Salsify and serves as the chair of their compensation committee and a member of the audit committee. Most recently, she was on the CEO search committee. Something that I'm sure we will hear more about today as we talk about CEO succession planning. 


She's previously been on the boards of the Silicon Valley Executive Board, How Women Lead, the Advisory Council of Latinas in Power, and the advisory board of the Katherine and George Alexander Community Law Center at Santa Clara University School of Law. Tricia is a board director, venture investor, speaker and author.


She's a first-generation Latina who rose through the ranks of Silicon Valley, advising high-tech companies, big and small, culminating in the sale of the data analytics software company, Looker, to Google for 2.6 billion. That's a lot of zeros. 


She's also the author of an award-winning book, Embrace the Power of You, where she hopes to inspire anyone who has ever felt like. Other in the workplace, or perhaps in the boardroom, to embrace their true selves, own their identity, and achieve success and fulfillment in their life and career.
