"This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Tatiana Teppoeva, a 49-year-old entrepreneur in Redmond, Washington. It's been edited for length and clarity. I'm an entrepreneur with a Ph.D. in economics and two master's degrees, and I'm currently pursuing an MBA. I'm also a US patent holder in predictive AI, a certified personality profiler, and certified in nonverbal communication, voice, and speech analysis."
"For more than a year, I had been thinking about leaving to start my own company, but it was not an easy decision after a 17-year stable career at Boeing and Microsoft. I even had a resignation letter saved in my drafts, waiting for the right moment. When the layoff happened, I felt it was a green light, and I was grateful."
Tatiana Teppoeva holds a Ph.D. in economics, two master's degrees, and a U.S. patent in predictive AI. She worked at Boeing as a business analyst, leading global customer satisfaction initiatives and employee engagement analytics. She joined Microsoft in 2011, became a senior data and applied scientist, and developed and patented an AI model predicting hardware failures. After a layoff after 14 years at Microsoft, she founded One Nonverbal Ecosystem to teach executives how to command the room and project presence. Severance and medical coverage provided a cushion that enabled her to launch the business and gain schedule control and freedom.
