Out of discomfort comes greatness.

I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.

Vulnerability is a loaded word, and it can off-putting and terrifying to people. The best moment of my life (and by the way, this actually wasn’t a single moment) was when I realized that I no longer give a damn about what anybody thinks. What you'd talk about as vulnerability, I'd talk about as simply being true to yourself.

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.

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

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

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