Becoming Self-Made (Encore)

MORGAN STANLEY
About this episode

Today, we’re continuing to bring you the “Best of” Access & Opportunity by revisiting one of our favorite conversations, with Nely Galán. Nely embodies the ethos of Access & Opportunity. She’s a savvy woman of color in business who’s written her own story by betting on herself time and again — starting as an Avon saleswoman at just 13 years old, and culminating with becoming the first-ever Latina President of Entertainment for a U.S. television network.

As a titan in media, Nely’s own journey is made for TV. It’s a story full of grit, twists and turns, and lessons learned. And by no means is it done. Today, Nely’s life continues to be too full to fit into a single title. She’s an Emmy award-winning producer, a mother, an entrepreneur, a media mogul and a real estate powerhouse and, Carla's personal favorite — a mentor.
