Скачать или смотреть How to Build an Inclusive Brand with Ashley Jefferson - [Ep. 245]

Ready for an honest conversation on entrepreneurship, leadership, and community? This week, Michelle is joined by product management leader Ashley Jefferson. Discover how blending corporate experience with creative instincts can shape a distinctly authentic approach to business, personal branding, and networking— plus why true connection goes far beyond job titles or online followers. This episode delivers insightful perspectives and practical tips you don’t want to miss.

Ashley Jefferson is the founder of Startup Baddie, where she works with founders and brands from a product, community, and content perspective. As a fractional product leader, Ashley makes sure you're building the right thing, for the right people, in the right way—and that it drives results (revenue, funding, customers). She draws on a decade of experience at JP Morgan, Prudential, and her work with early-stage founders and medium-sized companies to guide teams through strategy, launches, go-to-market execution, and critical business decisions.

She is also the creator of Founders, Funders, Fractionals (F3), a hub for the future of work that brings together founders, investors, and fractional executives. F3 focuses on education, meaningful connections, and practical ways to bring the fractional model into companies. Ashley holds an MBA from NYU Stern and a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Seton Hall University.
