The power of a career pivot

In this episode, we explore The Power of a Career Pivot with Trish Gillis—a Director and Senior Product Manager for CashPro at Bank of America whose journey proves that career paths don’t have to be linear to be impactful.

Starting out as an analytics expert, Trish took an unexpected leap into the fast-paced world of a beauty start-up, helping drive an extraordinary 800% annual growth and scaling the company to unicorn status. That bold pivot reshaped her perspective and unlocked a powerful blend of data-driven thinking and creative innovation.

Now back in the corporate space, Trish leads product innovation, user experience, and development for CashPro—Bank of America’s global digital banking platform. As one of thousands of inventors at the bank, she holds multiple patents and continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech.

We dive into what it really takes to pivot careers successfully, how to embrace risk and uncertainty, and why your most unconventional move might just be your most defining one.
