WITI Women | Isabell Maxwell

WITI Women Survey Questions and Responses:

1. What was your first job in technology?

I co-founded the McKinley Group which created the popular Magellan Search Engine which sold to Excite in 1996.

2. Who has been your most significant mentor? Why?
I did not have any one mentor that was particularly significant in my life. Along the way I've learned from many different people. I don't believe it is necessary to have 1 or 2 mentors, but rather that we make sure that we learn as much as possible from those who are effective and have been successful.

3. What has been your greatest challenge and what strategies did you use to overcome obstacles?
Becoming myself and remaining true to my dreams have been my greatest challenges in life. When I determined my goals I decided that I would go for them regardless of whether people believed in them or not. I believe it is important to never give up - little by little you can accomplish what you dream.
