Prior to decamping from the corporate world to spend several years caring for her ill husband, the author was a partner in a business strategy consulting firm. Back in graduate school, she had earned the nickname “idea factory” for being a reliable fountain of extemporaneous ideas on random topics. So, when dealing with a family medical situation took her away from an intellectually-challenging day job, this blog was developed as an alternative sink for analytical musings about life.
The author graduated in the top of her class from an Ivy League college, where she raked in top honors in her major and her minor and a bunch of other accolades – all while simultaneously working a couple jobs. Subsequently, she earned an MBA with honors from the country’s #1-ranked business school. She has traveled to >50 countries, climbed four >18k mountains, and dabbled in several languages. Oh, and there was that time she rescued her husband from a Saudi prison. She enjoys kitesurfing, skiing, making stuff, thinking about stuff, and exploring the world with her beloved dog.
