Chief Change Officer™
Change is already working on you. Could you make it work for you?
Chief Change Officer™ is a podcast for people who want to turn change into a breakthrough. It is for those reshaping a career, redirecting an organization, or rebuilding a life.
The show is hosted by Vince Chan, whose first lesson in change came at age four, after a severe arm injury led to surgery, hospitalization, and a long recovery. Since adolescence, she has lived through 20 major transformations across countries, careers, and crises. Before launching the podcast, she spent three decades in global finance and economics, from central banking and credit markets to billion-dollar institutional capital.
That experience taught her that change is never only personal. Markets shift. Institutions decide. Circumstances expand or narrow what people believe is possible. Talent matters, but so do context, timing, and power.
Vince brings together rare minds, black sheep, breakthrough builders, and unconventional champions from around the world. They include scholars who have spent decades studying people and institutions, executives who have carried responsibility through uncertainty, and leaders whose most valuable knowledge was earned beyond the clean lines of a textbook.
Together, they bring what Vince calls hard-earned human intelligence: judgment shaped by consequence and tested by time, trial, and revision.
They do not offer polished success stories or textbook formulas. They reveal what helped when plans collapsed, careers broke open, or life demanded a new direction.
Each conversation turns hard-earned human intelligence into practical judgment: how to understand what is changing, make stronger decisions, and move forward without losing yourself.
Chief Change Officer™ extends Vince’s work beyond markets and institutions into the human side of power and change. How people understand themselves, navigate their environment, and reclaim agency when the old rules no longer hold.
A Global Top 1% podcast and US #1 Careers show, Chief Change Officer™ is built for people who do not want merely to endure change. They want to understand it, use it, and turn it into a breakthrough.
Life is change. The question is whether change works on you, or you learn to make it work for you.

#416 Sienna Jackson: Culture, Capital, and the Courage to Start Young — Part Two
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sienna Jackson, the CEO of Nortera.io, walks us through her unexpected shift from entertainment executive to impact strategist.
In Part Two, Sienna Jackson dives deeper into the business of social impact—from why she walked away from Hollywood to how she’s now helping build one of Africa’s largest funding summits. She explains how impact is more than a buzzword—it’s a measurable, strategic discipline. Sienna shares how to bridge silos, build coalitions, and roll up your sleeves to help the helpers. From the boardroom to Ethiopia, she shows that real change isn’t about ego or noise—it’s about clarity, community, and execution.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
The Off-Ramp to Impact
“I didn’t have a master plan. I just started doing small things—bought a domain, formed an LLC, sent one email: ‘I’m doing social impact now.’ That was the pivot.”
You Can’t Improve What You Don’t Measure
“Impact is the net positive change rendered as a direct and material result of your actions. If you can’t model it, predict it, or quantify it—it’s just branding.”
Culture, Cause, Capital
“My work lives at the intersection of culture, cause, and capital. You need all three to drive sustainable, global change.”
Building a Real Profession
“We don’t have a bar association or CPA license for impact work. That’s a problem. I’m creating a survey to start defining our industry.”
Don’t Silo—Build Coalitions
“You have to speak multiple professional languages. That’s how you bring nonprofit leaders and private sector players into the same room—and actually get something done.”
Help the Helpers
“If you feel overwhelmed, find the people already solving the problem—and ask how you can contribute. That’s how real change starts.”
