Sonia Syngal: President and CEO, Old Navy - a podcast by ABC News

Released Apr 2, 2018

As President and CEO of Old Navy, Sonia Syngal begins her day by reading customer comments every morning. She became CEO of the $7 billion, 57,000-employee business in 2017 and has lead the company to record growth. But her path to retail wasn’t always so clear. Sonia, who has a background in mechanical engineering, began her career working for a car company before eventually finding her way to Silicon Valley and eventually to Gap Inc. and then exclusively Old Navy. On this episode, Sonia opens up about why she veered from her position at Ford for grad school in Silicon Valley, career transitioning at a senior level, and what she believes it takes to become the CEO of a public company.
