Ep 10: Hard Work Isn’t Enough to Succeed in Corporate America

from Unmuted Moments · host Ehis Akhetuamhen

Jesús Salas, a venture capital investor, joins Ehis to talk about what it really takes to be seen in corporate America and why doing great work is only part of the story.Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and shaped by international experiences across Kenya, Nicaragua, and Chile, Jesús reflects on the unspoken rules of corporate culture: the importance of being known, not just being good. He shares the moment he realized top ratings weren’t enough to get promoted and how that awakening led him away from corporate America and toward a non-traditional path. Follow Jesús on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesusasalas/
