Sam Saperstein is the Managing Director/Head of Women on the Move at JPMorgan Chase and Host of the Women on the Move podcast. After beginning her career as a journalist, Sam quickly realized that she had other career interests and headed to Business school to make a change. Upon graduation, she held a number of leadership roles and rose through the ranks at McKinsey & Company, Mastercard, and, later, JPMorgan Chase. In this episode, Sam highlights the key differences between sponsorship and mentorship (and the importance of both), shares how her definition of success has evolved over time, and opens up about her full-circle moment.
"To me, ambition does not only mean getting to the top of something. Ambition might be having a well-balanced life, doing something that you really enjoy doing while also being able to do things outside of work like [having] a family or personal interests...that are just as important to you as work."
