Katy Shapiro
Katy Shapiro is the founder of Unapologetic Ambition and a leadership coach, speaker, and former corporate executive who helps ambitious women stop shrinking, over-functioning, and carrying emotional weight that was never theirs to hold.
Born and raised in Philadelphia and shaped by a no-nonsense upbringing as the daughter of a Marine, Katy brings a grounded mix of grit, empathy, and straight talk to every conversation. Her work sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence, identity, power, and modern leadership, with a deep belief that success should never require self-abandonment.
Through coaching, speaking, and podcasting, Katy creates space for honest, meaningful conversations about ambition, leadership, and self-respect, helping women reclaim their voice, their authority, and the freedom to lead and live on their own terms.
