 Ellie
Rubin is a no.1 national best selling author,
international speaker and media personality.
Her rise to prominence began when
Apple identified her first startup as a ‘Top 10
Global Leader in New Media’. This distinction
brought her to Silicon Valley in the mid 90s where she
co-founded an enterprise digital asset management software
company that went on to become the leader in its’
industry. Ellie saw the company through its first sales
to Sony Pictures, Microsoft and Disney; strategic partnerships
with Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystems and raised
over $30M of venture and strategic funding. Bulldog
was acquired by Documentum (now EMC) where its’
products continue to thrive.
 This
entrepreneurial journey formed the basis of her first
best seller, Bulldog - Spirit of the New Entrepreneur
(HarperCollins) which chronicles her rollercoaster ride
as well as the stories of other startup notables.
Building on the success of her first
national bestseller and syndicated column, Ambition
(The National Post, The
Chicago Tribune), Ellie once again combined
her hands-on experience, engaging storytelling, and
tenacious journalistic curiosity in her second book
- Ambition - 7 Rules for Getting There (Penguin).
 This
book is packed with fascinating profiles of over thirty
internationally known personalities including Po Bronson,
best selling author of What Should I do With My
Life?; Anthony Zuiker, creator of Jerry Bruckheimer’s
CSI; Andrew Watson, director of creation for Cirque
du Soleil; Jim Balsillie, chairman and co-CEO of Research
in Motion; Princess Di's clairvoyant, Rita Rogers and
retail magnates Kate and Andy Spade. Using these examples
of 'designed' ambition, Ellie demonstrates how to become
an “ambitionist” and turn raw ambition into
managed success.
Ellie’s books have been translated into French
and Chinese and are used as core material in several
colleges.
Ellie Rubin's ability to motivate
and inspire executives, managers and independent careerists
to leverage their skills, mindset and attitude makes
her a much sought-after speaker and media spokesperson
in North America, Europe and Australia. Audiences not
only find her ideas stimulating and enlightening but
leave with a road map for turning competitive advantage
into richly deserved success.

to Life, as a Life Coach on Negotiating
Life, as a Life Strategist on Style
by Jury, as a Business Columnist on Three
Takes as well as a featured lifestyle expert
on a host of other television talk shows. Producers
are attracted to her authoritative style and ‘one
take’ delivery.
Ellie has recently relocated to Palo
Alto, CA for the production of her Internet television

new speaking series, Tactics for Turbulent Times.
