Patricia E. Gitt is the author of corporate crime novels featuring women balancing dynamic careers with private lives. Raised in Kings Point, New York, she earned her BS degree from the University of Vermont and an MBA from Fordham. During her career as an executive in public relations, she also served as Chapter President of American Women in Radio and Television, was listed in editions of "Who's Who of American Women", "Who's Who in Finance and Industry", and "Who's Who in Professional and Executive Women."
During her successful career in public relations, Patricia worked with many outstanding women executives in finance, healthcare, fashion and pharmaceutical industries. She says, “I wanted to read novels featuring their strength, the qualities that made them successful business leaders in the corporate men’s club, and how women balanced their dynamic careers with their private lives. With today’s fiction featuring women as detectives, physicians, attorneys, magazine editors, I missed the passion and excitement that women I knew brought to their business careers.”
She is the author of CEO, a story of how one woman reorganized an international but staid industrial corporation, building it into a new level of profitability for the coming decade, while fighting one man who felt she stole his job. The novel asks whether being the chief executive officer empowers the woman, or does being a woman empower the CEO.
