JoAnne Artesani

What do I do professionally?

I am an entrepreneur currently managing my professional career within a tradition corporate infrastructure. After having started and closed down a sole proprietorship, I changed careers and have achieved successively increasing leadership roles within the insurance industry. I hold a B.S. in Psychology, and an MBA from Babson College.

Who am I?

A perennial student - I am an avid observer of organizational behavior in the corporate infrastructure and speak about the relationship, lessons, and parallels between the traditional work model and the activities within the bee hive.

I've taken up beekeeping out of my interest in sustainability as well as pure academic interest.

I would categorize myself with those who:

* create music

* create art

* find pleasure in great food and beverage

* prefer to spend time outdoors than inside an office

* seek cultural immersion

* love the business of business

Most days, you'll find me in MA, though I love to travel, and travel often for work!
