Gillian Munson, Partner at Union Square Ventures, joins me on this episode of Stages to discuss her career in the technology sector of finance – from her roles as a tech analyst in the 1990s and a Managing Director at Allen & Co to CFO at XO Group (helping to facilitate its sale to a private company) – Gillian and I talk about the industry, its transitions, being a woman in the industry, and how she has balanced (or not!) through the various stages of her life.
Who do you know who would benefit from a meeting with me to help them through the transitions in their life? Have them email or call me at [email protected] or 212-756-1951. I’ve helped people through many acts by helping them plan and invest in a straightforward and values driven manner. I will ask them some questions and then we’ll sit down to talk about what they should be doing given their current stage in life.
