Gilt Groupe's Chairman Describes The Next Big Idea In Tech
July 8, 2011
Susan Lyne, the chairman of Gilt Groupe, started her career as many of Silicon Valley's brightest stars did: Like Gates, Jobs and Zuckerberg, she dropped out of college.
After stints at George Washington University, University of California at Berkeley and a year at art school, Lyne quit college, took a job with a public interest ad agency and, she says, "never looked back."
Lyne's journey to the top of Gilt, a members-only website selling discounted luxury items to a cult-like following of devout fans, came by way of a career in media that spanned a slew of platforms and publications, from the Village Voice to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
In an exclusive interview for The Huffington Post's Women in Tech series, Lyne shared her take on the next big idea in tech, why going viral can be bad for companies and more.
