Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the best-selling author of “Launching for Revenue: How to Launch Your Product, Service or Company for Maximum Growth” and the curator of “Changing Tides: Powerful Strategies for Female Founders.” I am also the founder and president of ThinkResults Marketing, and own the publishing house, HAL House.

In my private coaching work, I work with female founders, entrepreneurs and change agents to provide them with the tools and connections they need to succeed. Silicon Valley Business Journal awarded me the Silicon Valley Women of Influence Award in 2016, and ranked ThinkResults Marketing as the 10th Fastest Growing Private Company in Silicon Valley in 2017. Under my leadership, ThinkResults has also been recognized as one of the top Silicon Valley agencies (2013-2018).

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is “Changing Tides: Powerful Strategies for Female Founders”
“Changing Tides” follows closely on the heels of “Launching for Revenue,” my first book earlier this year. As I was writing “Launching for Revenue,” it became apparent that there are certain structural challenges present for female founders in launching their companies, and so I decided to write this follow-on book. Here’s a bit of background information about “Changing Tides” and why it’s imperative that we support female founders and funders:
Women receive less than 2% of venture funding and make up 8% of VC partners, yet research shows that companies with female leaders and board members outperform all-male companies. “Changing Tides” brings together experienced female venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and thought leaders who share their expertise and tactical guidance through a collection of essays. This book is intended as a resource for anyone wanting to win — or support a woman to win — at the heavily stacked entrepreneur and funding game.
