Career Interrupted: Navigating Career Crossroads and Defining Success on Your Own Terms

Reena is a living proof of how a small-town girl from India became a successful solo bootstrapped entrepreneur with no business background, advanced business degrees, or connections. Career Interrupted is a book that has been gesticulating inside Reena for the last decade. As an entrepreneur creating companies in the talent industry since 2002, her very first hire was a stay-at-home mom, and since then she has wanted to share with the world that the least likely can often be the best performers if you give them the opportunity. Reena took that passion for diversity and inclusion and founded Mom Relaunch. Her program nurtures and mentors candidates while opening career avenues for them. With a story of how tenacity and perseverance can create a fulfilled, regret-free, and harmonious life, she continues to do her part in sharing and nurturing others to live to their highest potential. She has written this book for anyone who has been undervalued at work, laid off, furloughed, hit a career rut, or struggled to reenter the workforce. She wants to inspire anyone and everyone to know that work-life harmony is within their reach.

She has been in the top 50 DEI Influencers list along with several other awards and speaking engagements. For her, success is beyond setting up a profitable business; it is being able to give back to the community and to do her bit for women who need support.

Reena loves spending time at home in Pleasanton, CA with her family. Together, they share many traveling adventures, including celebrating every New Year's Day in a different country. Learn about her work at ReenaGupta.com.
