Romy Newman

FOUNDER AND CEO, FAIRYGODBOSS

Three adjectives to describe you: Outgoing, strategic and passionate

Words to live by: Gratitude

Fantasy dinner date: Mary Barra, CEO of GM. I am so inspired by her. It’s clear she has incredible business acumen. She has such an understanding of GM’s core business, having started as an engineer and now as CEO. I believe leading a prolific, iconic company like GM is no easy feat, but she does it with such dedication, focus, and grace that she makes it look easy. I also love her focus on advancing women in STEM.

If I weren’t doing this I would be .... working for a nonprofit. I’ve also always wanted to be on Broadway!

Best negotiation tip: Remember it’s not all about you. Timing has an incredible impact on whether or not you’re successful — especially when asking for a raise. It’s important to consider the other parties in the negotiation and the situation you’re dealing with. By having a full understanding of the different power dynamics and the goals of the varying stakeholders, you’ll be more successful in achieving your own goals in the negotiation.

Favorite self-care ritual: Yoga
