About the Author


Hi, my name is Clara Kuo and I live in Palo Alto, CA, home of venture capital, startups, and law firms. Nice to meet you on the world wide web.
I’m working as a marketing analyst/a researcher for a firm that is in the business of asking insightful questions.*

If I’m not at work, I spend a lot of free time in my kitchen. I might be actively cooking something, but in my mind, I’m thinking a lot about how food affects us in different ways, or how businesses can work better, what people are buying, or what brands they are talking about.  There is so much going on in my head that I feel obligated to blog. If I don’t blog, I just feel guilty, so let’s see how long I can avoid a guilt trip this time around.

I once was a contributor for a business sustainability blog where I occasionally write from time to time. More recently, I’ve spent more time on Brazen Careerist with other career minded bloggers.

In 2007, I earned an MBA in International Marketing, from the Monterey Institute of International Studies, Fisher School.
