Video and Full Interview Text

Leisa: Hello, I'm Leisa Holland-Nelson and welcome to another edition of Women Mean Business, where we're going to take you up close and personal with extraordinary women doing extraordinary things. My guest today is Loretta Cross, Vice President for Energy and Environment at Charles River and Associates. This is a brand-new opportunity for you, Loretta, if I'm correct. Tell me about it.

Loretta: Yes, thank you, Leisa. This is really fabulous for me. I'm able to open the Houston office of Charles River Associates and bring a great group of really phenomenal experts to the energy field and we can help serve the Charles River's clients that are already here as well as their clients across the country.

Leisa: So what exactly does Charles River do?

Loretta: Well you know that's a great question. But we help companies really deal with complex financial issues and so it can be anything from helping them get a merger completed, to dealing with a complex litigation problem, or a strategic issue that their company's facing. So we work really top of the house problems and a good example would be we helped with all the regulatory testimony on the Duke Progress merger.

Leisa: Really amazing and I know this is, as I said, a new position with you and I think you're gonna continue to work with your former company, is that correct?

Loretta: Well yes, you know, I just left Grant Thorton and I love them dearly and it was a wonderful company to work for and it really gave me the background and the training and the platform to do this and we're gonna continue to work together as we go forward, finding ways that we can team and use the great talent at both places. So yeah -

Leisa: It's exciting.

Loretta: - it's very exciting.

Leisa: Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Loretta: That's what I like about it.

Leisa: Great. There you have it; another extraordinary woman doing extraordinary things. I'm Leisa Holland-Nelson, President and co-founder of Content Active, Houston's leading Web and mobile technology company. You can find me at contentactive.com or follow me on Twitter at lhnelson. We'll be back again next week with another edition of Women Mean Business.
