What’s it really like for the average woman to start a technology company?
Finding The Exit
In business, as in life, it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. And when you start from rock bottom, it’s tough climbing up a mountain. Women leaders have been proven to be good for tech company performance, but their odds of securing a seat at the table are long. Finding the Exit is more than a robust business memoir – it’s a courageous tale of a woman who, against harrowing odds that began in childhood, successfully started and sold a medtech company to a Fortune 100 in less than five years. Lea offers a candid take on her journey that includes highs, lows, and everything in between – from the unexpected death of her entrepreneur father, dropping out of high school, alcohol addiction as a teenager to a failed marriage, single parenthood, and sexism in the business world.
Lea recounts her experiences with candor and razor-sharp intrepidness. Standing splendidly in the intersection of two genres – business memoir and gritty personal tell-all – Finding the Exit delivers empowering lessons for working women of all backgrounds, ages, and walks of life.
