Your Working Life with Caroline Dowd-Higgins

Christina Wallace, a Senior Lecturer of Entrepreneurial Management at Harvard Business School, angel investor, and author of The Portfolio Life: How to Future-Proof Your Career, Avoid Burnout, and Build A Life Bigger Than Your Business Card.

A self-described "human Venn diagram," Christina Wallace has crafted a career at the intersection of business, technology, and the arts. After a decade as a serial entrepreneur, she joined the faculty of Harvard Business School where she is the course head of the first-year entrepreneurship class and runs the HBS Startup Bootcamp. Her latest book is The Portfolio Life: How to Future-Proof Your Career, Avoid Burnout, and Build A Life Bigger Than Your Business Card (Hachette, April 2023).

A frequent public speaker on topics including entrepreneurship, failure, and women in tech, Christina is also known for her viral TED talk on using a sales funnel for online dating and her TEDx talk about portfolio careers and the future of work. A business and creative non-fiction writer, she co-authored New to Big (Penguin Random House, 2019), a book about corporate innovation, with David Kidder and has been published in Forbes, Quartz, the Detroit Free Press, Time, and ELLE, among others. An enthusiastic-yet-mediocre marathoner and erstwhile mezzo soprano, Christina lives in Cambridge with her husband and two children.
