    Janet Foutty, Former Deloitte Executive | Being brilliant in your role

    "How do I start my next chapter?" That's the question Janet Foutty found herself confronting a little more than a year ago. Having reached the crossroads of a highly successful career at Deloitte that spanned more than three decades and culminated in her role as the company's chair of the board, the veteran executive decided it was time to try something new. What would it be? How has she handled the transition? In a conversation with Women to Watch's Sue Rocco, Janet talks about her time growing up in Washington D.C., the key traits she believes she inherited from her parents, her love of her work, and why she wants women to know that they are not alone.
