Best thing about working for yourself?
The freedom to run and cycle through Central Park any time the spirit moves me.
Worst thing about working for yourself?
Creative collaboration and brainstorming with a team doesn’t happen on a regular basis when you’re an individual entrepreneur. Although I crack myself up, sharing a good belly laugh with others is also something that I sometimes miss.
Why did you start your business?
Oct. 2005
When did you start to think of yourself as an entrepreneur?
2008 when I left executive search and recruitment full-time.
How do you relax?
I adore taking time out for a good strong deep-tissue massage.
What is something that you are known for?
Running 40+ marathons.
What 5 things would you never like to be without?
Nike Air Pegasus
Bottled spring water
Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate with Caramel
A book from my shelf
The love of my family/support of friends.
What’s a business that you think is interesting or inspiring?
Ethos Water: a brand with a social mission — helping children around the world get clean water and raising awareness of the World Water Crisis.
Who is a person that inspires you?
Yvon Chouinard: World-class mountaineer, diehard surfer, obsessive fly fisher and founder and owner of Patagonia. He doesn’t play by the traditional rules of corporate convention. I am inspired by his integrity and confidence.
