Meet the Founder

Anna Runyan is a Blogger and Consultant at a leading strategy and technology consulting firm in San Diego. Anna started her blog, Classycareergirl.com, in March 2010 to document what she was learning during business school and on the job. She quickly found that what she was learning was helping other young professionals as well. After just a few months, Classycareergirl.com was named one of the top 50 up and coming HR blogs for career development. Anna writes her blog as her “passion project” and loves helping others nail interviews and find fulfilling careers. She has a MBA from the Rady School of Management at University of California, San Diego and a BA from Point Loma Nazarene University.  Anna’s career advice has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Brazen Careerist.  She is currently working on her 2012 networking challenge which includes interviewing 50 successful businesswomen on Skype and sharing the videos with her blog readers.
