Since earning her undergraduate and MBA degrees from Harvard, Ettus has become a best- selling author of five books, a renowned speaker and co-host of iHeart’s leading women in business podcast, What’s Her Story with Sam & Amy. Her most recent book is The Pie Life: A Guilt Free Recipe for Success and Satisfaction.
