Poonam
Sharma is an author, MBA and real estate developer who is pursuing
the kind of success that has as much to do with the tone she sets
for her life, as it does with the title she prints on her business
card.
|
Her
first book, The Harvard Entrepreneurs’ Club Guide to
Starting Your Own Business, was published by John Wiley & Sons
Inc. in 1999, while she was a senior at Harvard and the director
of their Entrepreneurs’ Club. Chasing Success,
her second book, was published in the fall of 2004. She has been
featured in the New York Times, USA Today, Inc.
magazine, India Abroad (India), EXAME (Brazil) and other
print media, as well as on television outlets including NBC.

After
graduating from the Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and
earning her bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard College,
she worked at a start-up, a nonprofit venture catalyst and a private
equity firm, as well as in investment research and institutional
sales in New York. For her second non-fiction book she spent a
year traveling the world in search of entrepreneurs with inspiring
stories they were willing to share.

GIRL
MOST LIKELY TO was her third book and first novel. With a main
character in investment banking and an SEC-scandal looming in
the background, Poonam drew heavily on her own trials and tribulations
while balancing the worlds of cultural conservatism, interracial
romance and high finance in Manhattan. In May of 2007, Poonam
completed
her MBA at the Wharton School of Business at the University of
Pennsylvania, where she was honored to be chosen as the student
speaker on behalf of her MBA class at commencement.
|
ALL
EYES ON HER is her fourth book and second novel, in which she draws
on memories of her years in Los Angeles to give readers a guilt-free
glimpse into love, law, and the nightmare of the paparazzi-machine
through the eyes of a Beverly Hills celebrity divorce attorney.
