The Overnight CEO
A Story of Adversity, Grit, and Turning Lemons into Lemonade
by Ladeira Poonian
Life can change in an instant. What you make from that change is up to you.
When Ladeira Poonian's husband—the founder of a successful tech company in the 90s—suddenly dies, she's thrust into the life of a CEO overnight. Left to raise a teenaged son and keep their family's legacy above water, she had a choice: succumb to gender bias and hand over the reins of the company or take her seat at the table with all the grit and tenacity she had.
The Overnight CEO chronicles Ladeira's unexpected journey from wife to widow, trauma nurse to CEO. From not knowing how to turn on a computer to rescuing the company from predatory investors—hers is a story of overcoming life's challenges, harnessing resilience, and stepping up to the plate in the face of naysayers.
An inspiring, heartfelt memoir about starting over, The Overnight CEO is a tribute to women making it in worlds where they aren't always welcomed, the dedication of mothers, and the sweetness that can be squeezed from life's hardships.
