The Double Life of Audette Excel

Meet audacious Audette Excel, former corporate lawyer and banker who uses her business and legal acumen to make money for the poor and to save the lives of thousands of mothers and children. Audette acts as a bridge between the nonprofit and corporate worlds and says that if you want to know who she truly is, you have to see her in the context of her work with the children of Nepal: "The truth of me is here, it's not dressed up in high heels and a business suit in Sydney." Read on to learn about this lovingly eccentric woman who insists that she is the "luckiest woman on the planet," and whose "dominant emotion is gratitude," even at the lowest points of her life.
