Visualize a child in a picturesque green valley surrounded by Swiss Alps, playing with her friends, picking up chestnuts and sliding down the streams. That’s where our next speaker spent her childhood. The little time she was indoors, she loved playing the board game Trivial Pursuit. She came to the US at the age of 18 to finish her graduation. Her career took her to Christie’s in the UK and then into the Tech world at Linex Systems. She missed US so much, she came back and led the US operations for Linex Systems. Today, she runs her own business, helping companies sharpen their management and operations. She is multilingual, loves jazz, and is on a mission to read 6,000 books — loves Richard Osman’s murder mysteries for relaxation. A life tip from her dad that she lives by? Don’t panic — handle situations with a smile. Please join me in welcoming, REBECCA BRIZI.
