When most people think about starting fresh after decades in corporate life, they imagine retirement. Wanda Knight imagined something else entirely. After 25 years at the top of the tech sales world, she’s rewriting her story—not as an executive stepping back, but as a digital creator stepping boldly forward.
“I didn’t want to wait for someday,” Wanda says. “I wanted to live my passions now.”
From Finance Major to Tech Powerhouse
Her career wasn’t always destined for technology. In fact, Wanda began in finance. But a college internship with a Fortune 500 tech giant rerouted her path and launched what would become a decorated sales career. Over the years, she collected recognition at every level: Salesperson of the Year, Sales Leader of the Year, and perhaps the accolade she treasures most—being voted one of the Best People Leaders by her team.
A Dual Life: Executive and Creator
Even now, Wanda maintains her role as a senior executive at a Fortune 100 company. She leads with the same intensity that defined her career, shaping enterprise-level strategies and mentoring high-performing teams. But outside the boardroom, she’s building something entirely new: a digital brand blending fashion, beauty, and lifestyle with her signature global perspective.
Her feed isn’t just about style—it’s about empowerment. “I want women, especially those over 40, to see that change is possible,” she says.
Courage Over Comfort
For many, reinvention feels risky. For Wanda, it was a necessity. She credits her boldness, curiosity, and strategic mindset for giving her the confidence to embrace the creator economy while balancing her executive responsibilities. Her leap is proof that life doesn’t pause after 40—it expands.
A Passport Full of Inspiration
Having explored 38 countries, Wanda weaves her travels into her content, bringing cross-cultural awareness and fresh perspectives to her storytelling. Her audience gets more than fashion advice—they get a worldview shaped by experiences from Paris to Dubai to Cape Town.
What’s Next?
Wanda is far from finished. Her plans include mentorship programs, brand collaborations, and volunteer initiatives aimed at uplifting other women. Her mission is clear: to inspire women everywhere to evolve fearlessly, embrace change, and create the lives they’ve always dreamed of.
“Reinvention doesn’t mean starting over,” she reflects. “It means starting where you are—with courage.”
