In 2000, she co-founded Springboard Enterprises, a national organization that has fostered the investment of more than $4 billion in women-led firms to date. Currently, she is principal at Koplovitz & Company, a media investment and management firm specializing in new media investments and the chairman of the Board of Liz Claiborne, Inc.
She continues to be a leader in raising venture capital for female entrepreneurs and in launching new programming companies that challenge the frontiers of the digital age. She is the author of Bold Women, Big Ideas, which she wrote to inform and inspire female entrepreneurs to create wealth through equity.
