CEO Wake-Up Calls: A Glimpse into the Morning Routines of Fortune 500 Leaders

Fortune Magazine recently released a short video showcasing the morning routines of several C-suite executives. The video, filmed at the Fortune Workplace Summit, highlights the varied approaches to starting the day among high-level business leaders. Christian Sutherland-Wong, CEO of Glassdoor, emphasizes the importance of family time and wellness, stating, "I wake up at 6:00 a.m., plenty of time to spend time with the kids, and then get my wellness routine done before I begin work." In contrast, Julia Villagra, Chief People Officer at OpenAI, reveals a more flexible schedule, dependent on when her children wake her. The video offers a brief but intriguing look at the personal lives of these executives, showing that even high-achievers have diverse ways of balancing work and personal life. This peek behind the curtain provides a relatable human element to often-distant figures, suggesting that success doesn't always mean sacrificing personal well-being.
