You are the CMO of a healthcare company. Where did you start out?

My path in marketing began with content for brands like National Geographic and Bonnier. Several years ago I took a step into healthcare and I have not turned back. Working for an organization that does good in the world through mission driven work, is creative and fulfilling.

For someone interested in pursuing a career at the c-suite level, what are some qualities that will help them succeed?

Low ego, open mind, and some serious grit.

What did you want to be when you were a child?

Like most little girls, I wanted to be a ballerina.

What is your favorite thing about your workspace?

I work remotely, and my office has a really cool Murphy bed in it. When it is flipped up, the office is very professional and bright. But it also serves as a guest room. I love a good 2-for-1!

What is your personal or professional motto?

Carpe Diem! Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Paige Swanepoel is the CMO of Pelago. She can be reached at LinkedIn.
