Sheren Bouchakian

Sheren Bouchakian is a former corporate executive, executive coach, entrepreneur, and storyteller with a passion for inspiring others. An immigrant who arrived in the United States at age five speaking no English, she went on to earn a full academic scholarship and build a successful 30-year career on Wall Street and in the technology industry. Known as the “C-Suite Whisperer,” Sheren became recognized for her ability to connect with and inspire leaders at the highest levels.

At 46, a debilitating health crisis changed the course of her life, leading to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and transformation. Today, through her platform Grit & Grace Girl, she empowers others to embrace life's unexpected challenges, rediscover their purpose, and recognize that it's never too late to begin again.

Above all, Sheren treasures her family, including her husband Greg and son Grayson. As part of Women Rising America, she hopes to spread kindness, inspire meaningful connections, and share powerful stories of resilience and reinvention. She believes that even the smallest stories can create a lasting impact and help change the world.
