About the Book

Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling takes the reader on the amazing journey of Chris King’s life and her rise from being a poor, uneducated, 20-year-old single mom to being the world’s first female CEO of a semiconductor company. In a story full of twists and turns, the reader is carried through emotional highs and lows, and given the gift of learning what Chris had to learn through trial and error - that success in business is not dictated by your demographic or the types of challenges that life might throw at you. The seeds of success are within you. In Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling, we follow Chris on her path from the trailer park to the boardroom, and we learn the 12 essential principles that guided her along the way. Chris’ principles are hard-earned truths that have been proven time and again in her professional, avocational, and personal lives. This book will encourage and empower you to discern and chart your own path to greater success in business and life.

About the Author :
Chris King was a 20-year-old, poor, single mother with a high school diploma and few prospects in 1970. Incredibly; she would go on to become the World’s first female CEO of a semiconductor company. Today, Chris remains an active member on multinational company boards of directors and continues to compete as a champion equestrian. She lives in Scottsdale, AZ.

Review :
Chris King is one of a kind. Her singular focus on the customer and business outcomes was a lesson to all of us growing up at IBM. She was a role model for me as the first female CEO in the semiconductor industry and has such an inspiring story of how she got there. While this is the story of an amazing woman’s life and career, there are many very important lessons here for ALL of us. Chris King's life and career is a remarkable story of triumph over adversity, proving yet again that nothing is impossible if you are smart, determined, and willing to look beyond whatever obstacles come your way. This remarkable book is an inspiration for anyone looking to make a better life.
