Tara Hunt, one of the keynotes at mesh, announced that she is leaving Riya, her employer, to do her own thing to grow her Pinko Marketing brand.
While I certainly wish her well and think she's tremendous, I have to wonder about the wisdom in leaving a hot pre-IPO start-up where she has been instrumental in pulling in boatloads of users and heading off on her own, child in tow and TN-1 visa in hand (yikes).
She says that she and Riya have grown apart, and that sure does happen, but I hope she knows what she's doing.
Break a leg, Tara.
Sorry, but with due respect to the folks behind this
