Leigh Buchanan

From 1986 to 1988, Leigh Buchanan was the crossword puzzle editor of TV Guide, a professional achievement she has failed to surpass. She is currently an editor at Inc. Magazine, where she writes the back-page column “The Office.” She has also been an editor at The Harvard Business Review, and was co-founding editor of the first publication about business on the Internet, which is pretty funny when you consider she doesn't even know how to use the hotkeys on her computer. Her career in academia is best left unmentioned.
