Summary

Beth Dodson saw the corporate layoffs and turmoil all around her in the early ‘90s. Rather than wring her hands, she decided to act as if her own layoff was a fait accompli. Looking back, she concludes, “Sometimes when one door closes, three doors open—not necessarily a bad thing.” Earning an MBA and trusting her instincts, she took a risk on a start-up. Her career reflects adapting to change, from a corporate job to joining an early stage startup that grew to a successful acquisition, to recently starting her own company.
