Elsenhans, named CEO in July, is the first woman to head a major U.S. oil company. Though the company is huge (revenues were more than $40 billion in fiscal 2007), net income fell 9%, to $891 million, and the market cap is only about $5 billion. Some analysts are expecting a strategy shift.

About Us

Brusque is a digital newspaper that focuses on women who rock.

Here we celebrate the excellence of women and examine the issues that we face as we try to move the universe forward. Our primary focus will be on women in business. More specifically, we will focus on women as corporate leaders, and women as entrepreneurs.

The primary focus on business is because that is what we know best. (Go Blue!!!)

But as you (and we) know, women are advancing in many fields (sports, law, medicine, politics, science, etc.), so we will highlight the ascent, the successes and the key issues that pertain to women in other areas as well.

We will also focus on presenting articles that highlight issues pertaining to women in the workplace and work-life-balance.

In addition, we will take a look at how the business world is addressing and responding to the needs of women through marketing and product design; and periodically, we will highlight products that we believe will be of use to women that are also interested in the above topics.

Also note, we love gadgets, we love to cook, we love to travel, we love to shop, we love to read, we love to . . . okay you get the point, we love to have fun. So you’ll also see posts on technology and other stuff we love (cooking, shoes, biking, travel, sports, etc.) as well.

The short version is this, our goal is to create an estrogen-fueled 🙂 digital newspaper that celebrates the successes of women around the globe with a focus on women in business. Again, we are big on business, entrepreneurship and marketing around here; so if you notice a bias, please excuse it, but at least you’ll know where it comes from.

Also, please note, we are new to blogging so forgive us in advance if we make a few mistakes. Feel free to let us know what you think.

Also, some people have asked “Why the name ‘Brusque’?” To put it simply – Because that’s our style (short, blunt, and straight to the point) – ESPECIALLY when we’re having pre-caffeine moments!
