About this episode
Sherry Menor shares her journey to becoming the first female CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, discussing leadership, identity, and personal growth.
Sherry Menor, President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, sits down with Evan Leong for one of the most candid conversations about leadership, identity, and personal growth you'll hear from a Hawaii executive. Born in Tokyo and raised in Hilo in a strict Japanese-Filipino household, Sherry's path to becoming the first female CEO in the Chamber's 175-year history was anything but linear — it included detours through Hollywood extra work, a stint with Elton John's production team, a statewide political campaign, and years of learning to stop performing and start being herself. She opens up about imposter syndrome, the loneliness at the top, the transformative power of therapy, and what it finally feels like to own who you are. Watch now to hear the full story of what authenticity really costs — and everything it gives back.
