She was an MBB consultant turned manager turned startup CEO one-hit wonder. Although I do remember seeing the “supercar showroom” parking lot on the west side of Grelands Drive around the corner from where I lived everyday as one bookend of the dot-com era. To her credit she incubated the PayPal mafia and inflicted Teletubbies on America.

You say that like you are insulting her, but to most people in the world, "MBB(?) consultant turned manager turned startup CEO one-hit wonder." would be the best thing that happened to their life. Your description is someone who is very good at running businesses.

So, her foray into China with eBay was a case study of 'how-to" or 'how not to' expand into a new market? #CrocodileInTheYangtze
