Website: www.rhondas-musings.com Rhonda has refined the art of “pivoting” both professionally and personally. She moved to New York City from Philadelphia at the age of 19. At 21, she made the tough decision to stop dancing, return to college, and enter the corporate world, eventually owning her own investor relations advisory firm, which she sold to her business partner in 2015. On the personal front, she became a mother at the age of 45, and has, so far, lived in four cities in three different countries (US, UK, Canada). Her mantra is “don’t look back, you’re not going that way.” As an executive, Rhonda has written extensively for publications including Research Magazine, Investor Relations Magazine, Biotechnology Focus and appeared in Canada on CBC’s World Business News. Rhonda likewise frequently served as an expert panelist and speaker at industry conferences. Her speaking platform is a discussion about “pivoting” through life. Rhonda still dances and performs for fun!
