Not every transformation means changing industries. Sometimes the boldest growth happens when you stay in the game and keep stepping up.
In this Spotlight Interview, Cheryl Kananowicz, EVP and CRO at Content Critical Solutions, shares how she built a career of reinvention from within. From tackling roles she wasn’t quite ready for, to managing national teams, to fighting imposter syndrome while still showing up big – Cheryl’s story is a masterclass in stretching past fear and choosing growth again and again.
She’s proof that deep roots and career elevation can go hand-in-hand, if you’re willing to get uncomfortable.
Cheryl Kananowicz didn’t pivot industries – she transformed within them. As EVP and CRO at Content Critical Solutions, Cheryl’s journey through the print and communications world spans decades, but her growth never stood still.
She often stepped into roles she didn’t feel ready for, like managing three national teams with little sleep and lots of doubt. She names mentors across all levels, from executives to frontline staff, as key to her growth.
Cheryl reminds us that you don’t always have to leave to grow – you just have to keep saying yes.
