Bozoma "Boz" Saint John doesn't just enter a room; she commands it. From the high-stakes boardrooms of Apple, Uber, and Netflix to the glitz of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Saint John has spent over two decades proving that radical authenticity is the ultimate competitive advantage


The Architect of Cultural Moments

Bozoma’s career is a masterclass in staying ahead of the zeitgeist. She first gained major prominence at PepsiCo, where she managed massive music and entertainment partnerships, including Beyoncé’s iconic Super Bowl halftime show.


She later joined Apple Music through its acquisition of Beats Music and quickly became a standout figure. She is famously remembered as the "coolest person" to ever grace an Apple keynote stage after her vibrant 2016 WWDC presentation . This "Apple Pivot" proved that corporate leadership didn't have to be sterile, it could be soulful, rhythmic, and undeniably bold . Her subsequent roles as Chief Brand Officer at Uber and Chief Marketing Officer at Endeavor and Netflix cemented her status as one of the world's most influential CMOs.


Living with Urgency

Beyond the boardroom, Bozoma’s life is guided by a philosophy she calls "The Urgent Life," the title of her 2023 memoir . The book chronicles her journey through immense personal loss, including the death of her husband, Peter Saint John, to cancer, and how these experiences fueled her resolve to live authentically and without delay.


This mindset led her to launch The Badass Workshop, an online series and traveling tour designed to teach others how to build their lives on their own terms. Her "Career Audit" rules, which focus on negotiating not just for salary but for respect, have become a blueprint for modern professionals [4.3].


2026: Entrepreneurship & The New Empire

Today, Bozoma is moving beyond the C-Suite to build her own legacy:

  • Eve by Boz: In 2025, she launched her self-funded luxury hair and beauty brand, which addresses gaps in the market for high-quality, culturally grounded extensions].

  • Media Presence: As a full-time cast member on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and co-host of NBC’s On Brand with Jimmy Fallon, she is bringing her marketing genius to the masses .

  • Upcoming Milestones: In March 2026, she will receive the Luminary Award at the Women of Power Summit . On a personal note, she is preparing for two weddings to fiancé Keely Watson in August (Ghana) and November (Los Angeles) 2026].


Bozoma Saint John is proof that you don’t have to be small to fit into spaces that weren't built for you. You just have to be "badass" enough to change the space itself.
