What a bizarre time to jump from a safe job at Google to a Series A start-up.
It’s not like I haven’t experienced hurdles in my career, I am a woman executive after all. I graduated Business School in 2001, as the dot-com busted, 9/11 frightened everyone, and I drove back to the Bay Area knowing there were no jobs. Then in 2008, I made my big leap to Box, leaving Google right in the middle of a recession as Lehman Brothers shut down and the markets were in a tailspin.
