We had known one another for over a decade (I originally met her as a young founder at Yodlee) and were at similar stages of our careers, so I knew she could identify personally with my career quandaries.

I say “officially”, because unofficially, I had been noodling on the idea of HubSpot for a couple of years with my co-founder, Brian Halligan while we were both classmates in grad school. Candidly, back in those days, we didn’t think about diversity -- or for that matter, the broader topic of culture, all that much. But we should have.

She is the co-founder of Brand of a Leader , the personal branding agency for entrepreneurs.
