Season 2 Episode 6: Lucinda Duncalfe

In this episode of Onwards! Infonauts, we have a power chat with Lucinda Duncalfe.  Lucinda is presently Founder and CEO of AboveBoard, an inclusive platform for executive hiring. Although she was officially a part of the Infonautics team for only one short year, she made a great impression on everyone she met.  Like most Infonauts, she is a startup fanatic, but also took some practical steps in her career, like joining powerhouse tech company SEI when she knew she had to pay for student loans.  But as soon as the opportunity arose, she quickly got back into the startup game when she joined Infonautics in 1996.

Lucinda was recruited by our oft-mentioned friend of the firm, Sonia Stamm.  Lucinda covers her first day on the job, where there was no computer, no desk and no real plan handed to her.  She somehow made it work, and she thrives on that! Like the rest of us, Lucinda just figured it out.

Even though her Infonautics days spanned only 12 months, Lucinda spins some great tales, often calling them “those crazy days.” She also has a great affinity for many of the folks who worked alongside her at Infonautics. In this episode, you will get to hear descriptions of many people you know, including someone she called a “perpetual motion machine.” Other positive recollections from her time at Info include the Infonautics Good Business Pledge, and Van’s guidance to “solve for yes.” We hope you enjoy listening and taking time to reconnect with Lucinda.
