Women of CorenetSan Diego SummitMay 2012 Focus on Success Women Inspiring Women
The facts ma’am, just the facts • 57 years old • BA Economics, University of Colorado • Director of Real Estate and Facilities for the Americas at Google • Mother of three – Alex-24, Nani-22, Nina-17 • Wife of 30 years • Part-time Poet
Work that has mattered • Agreat first job • Ten years of ever expanding opportunity • An unhappy VP – a decision to change my career trajectory • A chance to learn and practice real estate • Linking real estate to strategy (2x) • Google – anunfolding story
A few rules of the road • Strong teams are more important than strong people • Work matters • Work life balance – not so much
Industry Trends (because I promised) • Math matters – take that semester of accounting, or business math • No longer sufficient to create the ‘Best Place to Work’ the new paradigm is the ‘Best Place to Be’ • If you don’t enjoy your work – move on – Life is Short!
