Stephynie Malik: A Crisis Resolution Masterclass
Stephynie Malik is the founder and CEO of SMALIK Enterprises. Stephynie started her first global company, MalikCo, by bootstrapping the company with $1,500 and a cell phone, building it into a global software integrator, designing and delivering customized business solutions, optimizing performance, productivity, and profitability for her clients. \n\nSome of her past clients include Accenture, Ernst & Young, American Express, United, Nike, LinkedIn, PWC, and Deloitte to name just a few. Stephynie\u2019s consulting, coaching and crisis resolution styles are unique, based on proven strategies and methods that achieve the desired outcomes elite athletes, high net worth, and high public profile individuals are looking for. \n\nThis Episode\u2019s Heavy-hitter\u2019s:\n\nStephynie was emancipated when she was just 15 due to her mother\u2019s mental health problems, which left her unable to properly take care of Stephynie.\n\nWithin a month of auditing and investigating a Venture Capital firm that she was hired to help out, Stephynie uncovered $36 million dollars of stolen funds. This was the beginning of her crisis management and coaching careers.\n\nAt 26 years old, Stephynie was the youngest director of a publicly-traded company in Silicon Valley. \n\nStephynie says that 70% of what she does in Crisis Management is white-collar crime, having to do with finances. The other 30% has to deal with random cases like athletes or entertainers and struggles with fidelity and marriages, or contract disputes and issues with DEI.\n\n\u201cBad news does not get better with time,\u201d Stephynie explains. She\u2019s been able to build a strong and reliable reputation for herself based on that rule, and by always being open and expressing when she has made mistakes as quickly as possible.\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\n\nPeople leaders don\u2019t magically wake up with a staff full of people ready to execute their vision, and nowadays, it\u2019s harder than ever to find decent staff without it taking months.
