Melinda French Gates is a philanthropist, businesswoman, and global advocate for women and girls. For over 25 years, Melinda has led efforts to unlock a healthier, more prosperous, more equal future. Today, she heads Pivotal, an organization she formed in 2015 that works to accelerate the pace of progress and advance women's power and influence in the U.S and around the world. Previously, she founded and co-chaired the Gates foundation, where, for more than two decades, she set the direction and priorities of the world's largest philanthropy. Melinda is also the author of the bestselling book The Moment of Lift and the creator of Moment of Lift Books, an imprint publishing original nonfiction by visionaries working to unlock a more equal world. Melinda grew up in Dallas, Texas and attended Duke University, where she received a bachelor's degree in computer science and economics and an MBA. She spent the first decade of her career developing multimedia products at Microsoft before leaving the company to focus on her family and philanthropic work. Melinda has three children - Jenn, Rory, and Phoebe - and lives in Seattle, Washington.

Rezensionen

"[D]eeply personal... [Melinda French Gates] takes readers inside the moments that have defined her - becoming a mother, grieving the loss of one of her best friends, and grappling with the hard-earned lessons of philanthropy."
-NPR

"The philanthropist reflects on the inevitable but uncertain periods of change - from new parenthood to career pivots to the loss of loved ones - that punctuate a lifetime. Though focused primarily on her personal experiences, French Gates also offers guidance to readers seeking support through their own times of transition."
-The New York Times

"The book... interweaves deeply personal, private reflections with grand, global observations."
-Good Housekeeping

"The Next Day encourages you to embrace life's changes."
-Time Magazine
