Grace Sharington interviews Bridgette Penel, CEO of Werkadoo. From http://werkadoo.com: Coffee lover, project management extraordinaire, disco dancing fiend, texting queen, foreign French expat, entrepreneur at heart. As CEO, Bridgette's vision and drive has led the Werkadoo team from a concept into a go-to-market product that rocks. Her primary responsibilities within the Werkadoo family are focused on strategic development, business development and general management, but she also can make one of the meanest espressos around, which makes her the fuel for our rocketship, literally. With accumulated education domestically and abroad, Bridgette's experience in business and project management has led her to founding three start-ups; with the most recent, The House of Talent Group, having seeded Werkadoo's concept. She also gained valuable business experience in the corporate world helping businesses utilize technology to improve efficiencies and reach goals. Some might say she's a techy, with a side of Trump. In her times of leisure, Bridgette you can catch her on the southern beaches of France a few weeks out of the year, indulging in one of her favorite dishes, fois gras! She hopes to one day be a philanthropist, fostering entrepreneurship in women in underprivileged communities. For now, she's focused on helping folks find werk. from werkadoo.com
