The reinvention of Gigi Meier is nothing short of remarkable. After three decades in banking — reaching the boardroom level of a multi-billion-dollar institution — Gigi reinvented herself as a successful romance writer. Gigi has published 16 books, some quite steamy, across three ongoing series. While you might expect Gigi to draw on her extensive banking experience to fuel her publishing success, she tells roving reporter Rotbart that the opposite is true!
