About Linda
Professionally, I am a technology executive, process engineer, and hard-core data junkie with 18 years of industrial experience. I love the aroma of a well-designed data-driven manufacturing process complete with motivated and fulfilled workers. However, I love the challenge of creating, building, and nurturing technology organizations more! I have pollinated through several industries/technologies: semiconductors, high performance materials (polymers), and biotechnology. With each new adventure, I gained insights, ideas, and new perspectives, one of which is the Long View.
Non-professionally, I am a wife (19 years), mother to two teenagers, multi-sport athlete (run, swim, bike, ski, rock climb), and a consummate bookworm (mostly non-fiction).
If I were named for my weirdest quirk, it would be: “Drives Out Loud.”
This blog chronicles long view thinking in all aspects of life, but with special interest in technology and business.

You write so beautifully.
I enjoyed it eventhough I didn’t understand all of it!
Can you explain “Drives Out Loud”?

I drive the way I ride a horse: chatter about the “trail,” encouragement (to the car) to change pace or position, and compliments (to the car along with a dashboard pat) for a successful maneuver (for example, fast acceleration). It’s an unconscious habit that drives my kids crazy! Apparently, they think my car is inanimate.

I love the long view approach. It’s very much how I’d like to think that I work.

Thanks for visiting! Keeping to the long view requires vigilance, because expediency can be soooo alluring!
