Life And Leadership Lessons From Liz Elting

Liz Elting,  Founder and CEO of the Elizabeth Elting Foundation and is a force.

I had the chance to meet with her and my three women business school interns: June Lui, Jessica Flam and Taylor Theis, recently so we could all benefit from her experience as an entrepreneur, mother and philanthropist.

Liz is the founder and former Co-CEO of TransPerfect, the world’s largest translation company, appearing on Forbes’ list of “Richest Self-Made Women” every year since its inception. Her work helped transform her entire industry, and she saw her company through world-shaking global crises, including 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis, emerging stronger from both. Her experience offers a fresh perspective on how to face the current uncertainty. Instead of shying away from new ideas, Liz suggests getting creative and if you’ve been thinking about starting a new venture, now is still as good of a time as any.
