About

If we're new to one another, I'm Elizabeth Thompson — "E" for short.

I work as a writer, editor, creative director, and business development strategist.

(Yes, that's an Oxford comma. I shall boldly defend its use to the end!)

I'm a serial entrepreneur who loves well-placed words — and big ideas.

I've launched 5 startups, sailed them to far-off ports, and held executive or senior roles in four GICS sectors.

My work experience has provided a wealth of knowledge about people, business, and decision-making.

Like most humans, I have learned far more from errors and losses than from wins.

Life hands us the test first. The lessons follow.

"Just never make the same mistake twice."

— Robert W. Roche, aka Grampy
