Work

I believe business has the power to do extraordinary good in the world. Today I work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, bringing financial services to some of the poorest people on the planet, with a special focus on products that serve women.

In 2019, I co-founded a boutique consulting firm called Eleanor, and we helped passionate, socially-minded businesses and people do the best work possible.

Prior to that I spent 15 years at Amazon, building new businesses from the ground up, developing innovative products, and recruiting, hiring and managing great teams around the world.

About Me

I’m Victoria Griffith and I am enthusiastic about a LOT of things. Pine trees and mushrooms and the desert. Ocotillos, motorcycles, travel, and photography. Friendship and writing and books and surviving the love of your life’s terminal diagnosis. I blog about some of these things here, mostly about books and writing, but about the other stuff now and then too.

I was born in Paterson NJ, call Seattle WA my home, and spend the winters in the desert of Southern California. I try to get out to see as much of the world as time and money will allow.
