ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Whitney Johnson dared to dream when she began her Wall Street career as a secretary. By her forties she had risen to become a double-ranked Institutional Investor sell-side analyst, a regular contributor for the Harvard Business Review blogs, and is currently the president of Rose Park Advisors, Clayton M. Christensen’s investment firm. Prior to co-founding Rose Park (Disruptive Innovation Fund), Whitney was Merrill Lynch’s Senior Telecom and Media analyst for Latin America, and was rated by Starmine as a superior stockpicker vis-a-vis her peers. When she’s not picking stocks, she’s taking stock in her dreams, and encouraging others to take stock in theirs, whether investing in and sitting on the boards of start-ups, keynoting industry conferences, or lecturing at Harvard Business School.

Whitney graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in music from Brigham Young University, having played at the Montreux Jazz Festival with Synthesis, the university’s award-winning big band. She was born in Madrid, Spain, is fluent in Spanish, and served a mission for her church in Montevideo, Uruguay. She and her husband reside with their two children in Boston, Massachusetts.
