- Careers
From the cornfields of Iowa, Jane Boulware defied expectations to lead billion-dollar businesses and rise as a top Microsoft executive. By 52, she'd launched three major ventures, navigated the US's largest merger, and left a trail of influential leaders behind her. Passionate about empowering others to recognize their worth, Jane now dedicates herself to mentoring, board service, and cherishing outdoor moments with her family. All proceeds from her book Worthy are committed to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Youth of the Year scholarships. She lives in Bellevue, WA. www.Janeboulware.com
In her honest and engaging debut memoir, Worthy: From Cornfields to Corner Office of Microsoft (January 23, 2024; paperback), former Microsoft executive, Jane Boulware, shares her story of growing up poor in the corn fields of rural Iowa where life was predictable and expectations were low...except for Jane. She knew that in order to change her circumstances and a life of government cheese and butter, it was going to take hard work and a determined spirit!
But Worthy is more than just a tale of personal triumph and achieving millionaire status by the age of 40. Blending humor, introspection, and grit, Jane confronts societal norms and the demands of corporate America once arriving at that level. Diving deep, she shares not only her successes but also her personal struggles and a season of life where she battled with bulimia. Jane also challenges the conventional belief of success as an end goal, proposing its true essence lies in how many we empower and uplift along the way.
Beyond sharing her unconventional path from poverty to success, Jane has a loftier goal. All proceeds from Worthy will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of America's Youth of the Year scholarships!
