When Na Yaeger’s remote executive role was suddenly relocated back to headquarters, it forced a decision she had quietly avoided for years.

She was earning more than $300K annually, operating at a senior leadership level, and helping drive growth for globally recognized brands.

From the outside, everything looked successful.

But internally, something no longer fit.

And for the first time, staying started to feel harder than leaving.

The hardest part about stepping away wasn’t capability.

Na had spent decades solving complex business challenges and leading high-level strategic initiatives.

It was comfort.

The reliable income.

The familiar identity.

The predictability of a path she had spent years building.

Walking away from that certainty—even voluntarily—felt deeply uncomfortable.

But she also knew she wanted something more independent, more aligned, and ultimately more her own.

Passport helped her bridge that gap.

Instead of endlessly preparing or second-guessing herself, Na learned how to package her expertise, narrow her niche, and build a consulting business around the industry she already knew deeply.

That clarity created momentum.

Today, Na is building a strategy consulting business focused on helping CPG brands solve complex operational and growth challenges.

And while she’s still in the early stages of scaling, the momentum is already building quickly.

Within just a few months of launching, she has positioned herself for premium consulting opportunities and has proven that even after 25 years inside large organizations, she could adapt, evolve, and build something entirely her own.
