Courtney Rosen

Courtney Rosen is founder and CEO of eHow, a Website that provides users with step-by-step instructions on thousands of real-world activities, such as changing the oil in a car, negotiating a raise or making Cajun hot sauce. A former manager for Andersen Consulting's ecommerce group, Rosen got the idea for the site after a particularly frustrating experience scouring the Web for information on how to fix her inline skates.

Rosen has extensive management, ecommerce, and marketing experience, having held P&L responsibilities for business units and key client accounts at Hill & Knowlton and Andersen Consulting. Her experience in electronic commerce stems from over two-and-a-half years of strategy consulting in the Internet industry with Andersen Consulting's Strategic Services group. In addition to her ecommerce background, Rosen has a decade of experience in marketing strategy for major consumer brands including Visa, Barbie/Mattel, Compaq, Nintendo, Toyota, American Express, PolyGram and Bose.

Rosen earned an M.B.A. from the Anderson School at UCLA and a B.S. in design from UC Davis.
