By Rachel Glickhouse I “met” Eline Kullock through a social networking site. She asked me to write a guest post for the blog. I found Eline to be extremely interesting, intelligent, and a hard worker (she is the President of Grupo Foco in Sao Paulo). So here I am, “guest blogging…” People like to talk [...]
