My background is advertising: I moved to New York from London in 1998 to start up the U.S. office of ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty.

It took a woman to actually do something about the lack of women in creative departments.

Women challenge the status quo because we are never it.

Despite their good intentions, today's businesses are missing an opportunity to integrate social responsibility and day-to-day business objectives - to do good and make money simultaneously.

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

I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.

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