Patricia's Story

My parents moved to the SF Bay Area from Riverside in Fall, 1971, so I didn't get back to town much after I graduated from High School. I graduated from Occidental College in 1975, with a BA in Political Science. I won a Rockefeller Fellowship in Theology and studied theology and ethics at The School of Theology in Claremont, CA in 1976. After completing the Fellowship year, I went to work for Pacific Telephone as an Installation Foreman and worked into middle management in a couple of years. I married Steve Sueltz, my college sweetheart, in 1976; we've now been married over 33 years. After Steve graduated from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1979, we both joined IBM and moved to the east coast, where we lived in various places for 20 years (Upstate NY, Connecticut, Raleigh, North Carolina (twice), and the UK. We have two daughters: Lucia who is 28 and Kathleen who is 19 and a sophomore in college. Lucia married this past summer and after a three week honeymoon in Fiji(!), she started a masters program in social welfare. We moved back to California in 1999, when I joined Sun Microsystems to head up its Systems Software business followed by running the Services business. I left Sun in 2004 to join a late stage start up,Salesforce.com as president. I got the opportunity to be CEO of a UK-based software security company in 2005 whe...Expand for more
re I stayed until the business was bought in late 2007. I joined LogLogic, a late-stage Sequoia backed startup in Dec 2007, where I was CEO until Sept of this year. 2009 has been a challenging year for the Sueltz family as our elder generation has been ill or dying with four uncles and three aunts dying over the past year; I'm sure that many of you are going through similar challenges. Steve and I have been caring for his folks who live in San Diego, so I am taking the first break from working since I graduated from college to help out. When I'm in the Bay Area, I'm having a blast! Hiking, training a young rescue border collie, and hanging out with my family and friends for a while... Our kids have brought various pets into our home - stray cats, 2 dogs, and a couple of horses.. (Kathleen is an equestrian.) and a box turtle, named Skippy. After 20+ years as a financial executive at IBM, Steve enrolled at San Jose State in post-baccalaurate course work to get his BS in Nursing, where he is one of eight men in the program. When asked why he was undertaking this new endeavor, he said that "some one has to take care of the old gal". He's probably right! [Steve graduated in May and is now on his second career - as an RN at a local hospital. He works in the Stroke/Telemetry Unit -- Who knows... maybe we'll both re-pot and try some new adventures. :)
