It Seems To Me

Thoughts and Rants on Technology, Business and Politics

My name is Heather Hollick, and I would like to welcome you to my little corner of the world. This is the place where I muse and rant on things that interest, intrigue or irritate me. I place a high value on diversity of thought so it is important to me that visitors here provide their own feedback and reactions to the ideas presented. Your input is expected!

I have more than 20 years experience in the high tech, health care and consulting industries. Most recently I spent four years with Cisco Systems in Silicon Valley. I have an MBA from Univeristy of California at Berkeley and a Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics from Purdue University.

I have a deep passion around productivity and working effectively. I am particularly interested in the appropriate use of technology to spur individuals and organisations to higher levels of efficiency. I have recently written an article called The Four Pillars of Productivity that summarizes some of my thougths on the subject. The article is available in the downloads section of my professional CV site.

I also have an affinity for electronic gadgets. I am on my 10th PDA (HP iPaq 4704), my fifth iPod (White 4GB Nano), and my second digital camera (Canon S500) and countless other electronic nick-nacks. I somehow hope that all of these electronic wonders will make my life easier. Alas, if that were only true.

I was born in southern Ontario, Canada and moved to the US with my parents after my sophomore year in high school. After living in the US as a permanent resident for 27 years, I was naturalized as an American citizen in April of 2003. My partner and I have recently moved to London and are chronicling our adventure in our blog called Living in London.

Thank you for stopping by. Feel free to send me an email or leave a comment on the site.
