Argent Founder Sali Christeson on Reimagining the 9 to 5 Uniform

Sali Christeson actively suppressed her idea for Argent for years. She was killing it at her job at Cisco – she didn’t have time to start her own company. But after spending over a decade in male-dominated companies, where business casual was a non-negotiable, Sali realized that most women’s workwear just…wasn’t working. Sali tells the story of how she went from wearing pocketless pants to building Argent, a brand that actually works for the lives women lead. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Sali also shares: How she set boundaries as an employee at Cisco – and how she implements those learnings as a founder Why getting good at networking landed her investors and opportunities How she teaches female founders to reclaim their power instead of give it away Advice on how to advocate for yourself to be included in conversations Learn more about your ad choices.
