Cool Friend: Wolaner

Most recently an executive committee member at CNET, Robin Wolaner has had an eclectic career in publishing, with experience at Penthouse, Runner’s World, and Mother Jones, and as the founder of Parenting magazine. She left CNET to write Naked In the Boardroom: A CEO Bares Her Secrets So You Can Transform Your Career, which recently came out in paperback. Tom blogged about it, and he said:

I unflinchingly anoint it a “Top 5” biz book for the last couple of years. Namely: Naked in the Boardroom, by entrepreneur and wildly successful BigCo exec Robin Wolaner. It is by far … the best book on strategy and tactics for women aiming to make it big in business—big biz or entrepreneurial biz. Moreover, I think any male … can learn an enormous amount from this book.
