Hello New York! I’m very excited to be back in town, this time to speak on an Internet Week panel with a set of very sharp women. Hope to see you tomorrow! The panel discussion entitled, “Women Leading 2.0: Business Insights into the Social Media Revolution,” is being hosted by Shearman & Sterling on Tuesday, [...]

Well, I made it! If I say I’m going to do something, it happens. I’m finally in Spain, as I promised back on 23 March. Barcelona is beautiful. It’s overcast but warm.
