Corporate Powerhouse to a Purpose-Driven Brand: The Rise of Stacie Selise

It’s never easy to pivot from a career you’ve worked in for over a decade, but Stacie Selise took that challenge head-on. The former Fortune 20 executive decided to say goodbye to corporate life and embrace her calling as a full-time leadership consultant, executive coach, and founder of her self-titled brand, Stacie Selise. Stacie hopes to empower new generations through her company to lead boldly, build confidently, and succeed unapologetically.

Stacie’s Resilient Journey 

To get where she is today, the New York City native has demonstrated significant resilience, which has led to her ability to lead excellently. Stacie went from launching her entry-level retail customer service rep career to quickly rising in the ranks until she landed her Fortune 20 executive title.

Stacie faced significant adversity during her time in corporate America. As one of the very few Black women in business to reach senior executive status before reaching 35, she more than earned her title with top-performing teams in sales, customer experience, and organizational culture throughout the East Coast.

Carving Out a Path for Herself and Others 

It wasn’t easy for Stacie to move through corporate spaces as a Black woman. She said, “I had to prove myself twice as much while navigating spaces that weren’t designed for my voice.”

Between microaggressions and the stress accompanying being ‘the first’ or ‘only’ person in most rooms, Stacie had much more on her plate than most of her peers. Still, that didn’t stop her. Stacie built legacy teams, outperformed expectations, and championed inclusive leadership from the inside out to make her success more accessible to the women who would come after her.

Becoming an Entrepreneur 

So, what sparked Stacie’s transition from corporate America to entrepreneurship?

One word comes to mind: purpose. Stacie explained, “I saw a gap in how we develop and support diverse leaders. I knew I had to take everything I learned and build something bigger than myself.”

Her Stacie Selise platform demonstrates her boardroom credibility, as she has long-standing personal experience providing results-driven leadership development. Stacie created The 4S Framework by Stacie Selise™: support, strive, standards, and success.

Stacie runs her brand with that formula and uses it to guide professionals in their plight to lead with strategy, consistency, and authenticity. At its core, Stacie’s 4S Framework is a map for sustainable growth designed for ambitious leaders looking to rise in the ranks of corporate and entrepreneurial spaces alike.

What Can Stacie Offer Clients?

The Stacie Selise brand offers high-impact services like Power Sessions, intimate masterminds, and dynamic engagements through the lens of a powerhouse speaker. Stacie designed each option to help clients figure out their leadership style, strengthen their executive presence, and confidently complete their goals.

What’s Next for the Stacie Selise Brand?

Ultimately, Stacie wants her brand to become a global force. She’d like to consult with Fortune 500 companies, write books, and build transformational leadership communities.

Stacie said it best: “I’m not just building a business. I’m building a legacy for the next generation to walk into rooms they were once shut out of, and own their power.”

Stacie’s transition from her high-level role in corporate America to creating her brand has proven her ability to adapt and accomplish her goals. She never let negative voices or adversity stop her, which makes her an excellent guide to share that wisdom with like-minded leaders looking to rise in the ranks of their careers.
