Following 20+ years in International Finance, Christine Brown-Quinn, together with her business partner Jacqueline Frost, launched Women in Business Superseries in order to create a platform to share their strategies for getting ahead in demanding corporate environments. As a former Managing Director in International Banking, Christine is well versed in what it takes to forge a thriving career in highly pressurised alpha environments.

Christine is also a published author on work-life balance for professional women. Step Aside Super Woman is resonating with professional women across a wide range of age groups, sectors as well as continents. In the words of one reviewer, Christine Lawrence, Former President, Women in Banking and Finance , “For over 30 years key organisations such as Women in Banking & Finance have heard from many women who are faced with the dilemma of achieving Work Life Balance, while trying to progress their career and have a family. It is refreshing to read Step Aside Super Woman that tackles a subject that is addressed on all levels, therefore, academically, intellectually, strategically and on a personal level.
Christine has an undergraduate degree in Foreign Languages from Georgetown University (Cum Laude) and an MBA in International Business from George Washington University (Beta Gamma Sigma scholar).
