For Such A Time As This: From Humble Roots in Africa to Silicon Valley Leadership

What if your story—no matter how unlikely—was exactly what the world needed?

In For Such A Time As This, Marie-Ange E. Tagne shares her extraordinary journey from humble beginnings in Cameroon (Central Africa) to leadership roles in Silicon Valley’s tech ecosystem. With a doctorate from UC Berkeley and a career spanning Meta, Amazon, Intel, and more, she defied odds to become a voice of hope, leadership, and purpose in an industry known for exclusivity.

More than a memoir, this book offers a roadmap built around Marie-Ange’s PURPOSE framework: Preparation, Unwavering Faith, Resilience, Purpose-Driven Action, Others-Focused Leadership, Steadfast Boldness, and Excellence. Marie-Ange explores how faith can coexist with ambition, how leadership rooted in values creates impact, and how purpose unfolds in the most unexpected ways.

It is a message of empowerment and hope for anyone striving to turn adversity into opportunity and live a life of impact. Readers will gain insight into navigating imposter syndrome, building inclusive teams, leading with authenticity, and making their mark—without losing their soul.

Perfect for anyone looking for meaning in life, professionals or students, immigrants, faith-based leaders, women and minorities, and any underrepresented group in tech or business, For Such A Time As This is a call to rise, lead, and live intentionally.

Your past and obstacles you faced do not disqualify you—they prepare you. Your voice matters. And you too were made for such a time as this.
