When I was 22, I wanted fortune and fame, so I went to Hollywood. I always looked for the best tools to realize exciting stories, partnering with tech leaders like Steve Jobs at Pixar.

I co-founded VMware with my husband, who was a professor at Stanford, after realizing the value of his research and the need to take it to market.

Apple bought NeXT, and the technology we developed there is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance.

I was lucky to find what I loved to do early in life when Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage at the age of 20.

I started my company, Vrai Pictures, after realizing I wanted to work on projects that mattered to me.

After quitting my job at Amazon, I moved to San Francisco where I found a co-founder and began working on various startup ideas without being picky about the market.

Looking back on my relationships and experiences has been both challenging and rewarding, including my fantastic early collaboration with Steve Jobs on projects like the Apple II and Macintosh software.

After college, I worked at a biotech firm but felt the slow career progression pushed me to pursue entrepreneurship, especially after a roommate suggested we start a company together.

Building a company is just as challenging and rewarding as building a relationship; I've broken down our story through the lens of love.
