ABOUT THE AUTHOR Terri Tierney Clark

As a student at Smith College, Terri Tierney Clark began to gain an appreciation for women’s career issues. After college and business school at The Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, Terri had a chance to experience those issues first-hand in the financial industry. At Merrill Lynch, she was one of the core bankers on Wall Street to create what is now the multi-billion dollar private equity fund agent business. While working at Merrill Lynch, she became one of the first female Managing Directors in the Investment Banking Division and managed the Real Estate Private Equity Placement business. Terri was also elected to the firm’s first Women’s Steering Committee where she had an opportunity to discuss issues that affect young women in the corporate landscape. In addition, she managed recruiting within her group and headed the Tuck School’s recruiting for the Investment Banking Department. Terri now runs an advisory business, Summit Equity Advisors, which offers private equity-related services to buyout partnerships, hedge funds, and financial services companies.

After years of speaking with young women—those graduating college or graduate business school and embarking on their careers or those already dealing with the corporate world—Terri felt compelled to share her knowledge to help women succeed in their chosen careers.

For fun, Terri likes to travel and run. She has run the Boston Marathon and two other marathons but mostly runs casually with friends. She is married with a son in high school and two college-age daughters who are her inspiration for this book.
