Chrysula Winegar has a Masters in Organizational Behavior from the University of London and a Bachelors of Economics from the University of Queensland.  She has over 15 years experience in marketing, recruitment, training and business management in several blue-chip corporations in Sydney (Australia), London (United Kingdom) and New York (USA).  Companies include Ernst & Young, NatWest UK and most recently Estee Lauder Companies where she was the International Marketing Manager for the Aveda and Bumble & bumble brands for almost five years, launching, training and growing these brands in various overseas markets during that time. 

In recent years, Chrysula has nurtured her love of art and has become a private art dealer, working predominantly with a small group of contemporary American and British artists and private collectors.  She also continues her passion for organizational development, commentating regularly on work-life balance issues and the relationship between organizations and families.  She provides selective private career coaching. She is a regular speaker, trainer and writer on a variety of professional and personal development topics. 

She has volunteered with her church in Manhattan as a Youth Group Leader for at risk teen girls, developed and implemented an Emergency Preparedness Plan for over 5000 members in Manhattan after 9/11 and also volunteered as the church’s local Director of Community and Media Relations for the last 3 years.

Chrysula is originally from Australia and also holds British Citizenship.  She is working on her third passport to become an American Citizen as soon as she can remember all 13 of the original States.  She has lived in five countries and ten cities.  At age 41, she is currently living in her 37^th home.

Chrysula is married to Warren Winegar, and is the mother of four children – two irascible and brilliant daughters and two witty and Zen sons who make all the rest of the things she has done with her life look like she was slacking.   Chrysula and her family have recently relocated to Connecticut where she is still in denial about no longer living in the city.
