I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.

I deplore the shying away that can go on, within women, from the term 'feminist.' I am, absolutely, all about being a feminist.

The single biggest lesson I learned was when a hire isn't working out fire them fast. My biggest mistakes, and where I've seen the worst results, were when I gave someone too many chances, or let a situation drift on for too long because I couldn't bring myself to terminate it.

My personal cause and platform, if you like, is women's rights and women's issues.

When we launched If WeRanTheWorld, I said to my team, I want us to innovate in every aspect of how we design and operate this as a business venture, as much as the web platform itself - because I want us to design our own startup around the working lives that we would all like to live. Women and men alike.

The single largest pool of untapped resource in this world is human good intentions that never translate into action.

I've never felt any particular desire to be married.
