Anyone who has worked with me knows that I am extremely action-oriented. I'm all about making things happen.

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

Out of discomfort comes greatness.

If I ran the world, I would find a way to bring the wealth of human good intentions and corporate good intentions together - to activate them collectively into shared action against shared objectives that produces shared hard, tangible results.

People love advertising in particular but they hate advertising in general.

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.

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