I interviewed Vince Pizzica, President Corp Partnerships & Ventures Technicolor @GLAZED Conference. He’s a fellow Aussie expat. He spoke about Technicolor which is at the forefront of innovation & technology in media where artistry meets technology. They have worked with Hollywood for 100 years. They like to think & invest like a startup to be on the bleeding edge of innovation so ‘100 year old startup’. They are the leader in physical media & that will change. He spoke about living in the Bay area after Paris & Oz. He loves being able to speak about how you can walk into any café in the Bay area & talk about big ideas – nowhere else in the world!

Gal lost in Technology
I came to the technology world late in life but it has not diluted my passion for it. I had a thriving coaching business in Dublin, Ireland after getting a business visa for many years through my business plan. I worked hard to keep the business going along with doing a lot of voluntary work for the International Coach Federation in Ireland. (I was the founding President of the Ireland ICF chapter.) I worked 24×7 and when I took a weekend off to visit friends in Paris, I often fell ill. I met an Irish man who had been involved in Internet Marketing in the early days when it was multimillion dollar business. We had a couple of brainstorming sessions about online business in particular online matchmaking & internet dating. It planted a seed in my mind, online business could be the way to go. As I was a mature woman 24×7 working one to one with people was exhausting and I imagined making money while I slept- mmm! This was the beginning of my entry into the technology world. This is my post for Ada Lovelace Day.
