Chase left Zipcar, the urban car-sharing service she founded in 2003. She’s now chief executive officer of ride-sharing startup GoLoco.

Her secret to success: “My dad was a diplomat and I grew up overseas. Almost every place we lived my mother would start some small cottage industry. Within two years, by the time we had left, she left behind a blossoming cottage industry that employed local people. What she was doing was things she was passionate about. It was an inspiration.”
