Looking for a new gig for my retired ex-founder mother

Hello IH 👋🏻,

I’m reaching out today about my mother. She needs some ideas on how to keep her brain active as she enters this new phase in her life. She is a successful entrepreneur and a great woman so I felt like posting this here would reach the right people 🙂

Here’s a brief summary on her and her expertise:

• she is one of the most hardworking persons I have met so far
• studied to be a doctor and went on to work in the pharmaceutical industry where she worked for well known companies
• built a pharmaceutical studies business - CRO - that started in Portugal, expanded to several countries in Europe and South America, and after ~20 years got acquired by a US company where she is now employed at and ready to retire
• she is a very caring person and I feel like the connection she establishes with people is always meaningful and very altruistic. In my case, besides being an awesome mother, she is like a mentor and I know I can reach out for great advice whenever I face important conversations or steps in my career/life (even though I’m in tech)
• she knows how to write, likes dealing with numbers/contracts and speaks portuguese, english, spanish and french fluently
• has a much smaller social life than she used to (even though she is the most amazing person I know and feel like she would like to regain some of that)
• 2 children, 4 grand children and 5th on the way
• she likes knitting, reading, learning about history and art and traveling (even though she is starting to get a bit lazy and thinks she is actually older than she is — 64)

Let me know if you have any ideas of how her next step should look like 🙂

Thanks in advance,
