1. What was your first job in technology?
I worked with the Walt Disney company overseeing the retail consumer products and technology-related assets.
2. Who has been your most significant mentor? Why?
My old boss at Disney because he taught me how to strive for perfection and never be satisfied until you have the best possible consumer experience.
3. What has been your greatest challenge and what strategies did you use to overcome
obstacles?
On a personal level, my greatest challenge was getting funding for a business while I was 8 months pregnant. The biggest obstacle was being pregnant and getting funding from an investment community that was predominantly male. In my case, I was launching a business that was geared towards meeting the needs of women, and in particular, expectant and new moms. Therefore, I had credibility because I was part of and understood the target market.
