Changing The Game

#20: In this episode of Changing the Game, former Division I golfer and current Chief Revenue Officer at FusionIQ, Sloan Shanahan, opens up about the transitions, misalignments, and breakthroughs that shaped her career. From leading high-impact consulting projects at EY to navigating burnout, leaving a stable seven-year tenure, and eventually stepping into a high-performing sales career, Sloan shares a refreshingly honest look at what it means to chase alignment, not perfection.

We talk about the identity shifts athletes face when entering the business world, the power of mentorship, how to trust yourself through major pivots, and why being “the only woman in the room” is a strength, not a setback. Sloan’s story is a masterclass in resilience, authenticity, and taking the long road to find the career you’re meant for.
