WITI Women Survey Questions and Responses:
1. What was your first job in technology?
I worked for the CEO of a Unix manufacturer. He asked me to work for
his company without a title or specific job description. Essentially I was a special projects assistant to the president. It was very risky to accept this
position since so much was unknown but it turned out to be the best move
of my career.
2. Who has been your most significant mentor? Why?
Don Lehr, CEO of Cubix, has been my most influential mentor. He taught me everything about running a technology company and provided me with many opportunities to continually test myself and grow.
3. What has been your greatest challenge and what strategies did you use to overcome
obstacles?
My greatest challenge was taking a company with excellent technology and
rebuilding it from the ground up. I worked with a very talented team
of people to reinvent RightPoint and turn it into the leading real
time eMarketing company. I made sure that everyone had a very clear
vision of where we were going, along with an excellent understanding of
what each individual had to do to get us there.
