Another talented business woman, Lya Sorano, has joined the Women on Business writing team.  Please join me in welcoming Lya to the team, and learn more about her below.

Lya Sorano, writer and New Media strategist, is the CEO of The Oliver/Sorano Group, Inc., a marketing and PR firm established in Atlanta in 1980.

As a business writer, her topics have most often been international business, the role of women in the international business arena and information technology. She has been published by magazines and newspapers in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as the US.

In 1992, she founded Atlanta Women in Business as a membership network for business, career and professional women; its goal is the achievement of equality in the workplace.
