Dr. Ellen B. Brandt

Curriculum Vitae


***** I'm the author of over 4,000 published magazine and newspaper articles and blogs.


***** I was the long-time business editor of a major American women's magazine, producing 180 stories per year for that publication alone: a weekly careers column, a weekly consumer finance column, and a wide range of general features, ranging from true crime and true romance to Hollywood, health, human interest, and social issues.


***** I've been a contributing editor at literally dozens of different Trades - business and professional magazines - over the past four decades, with exceptionally strong backgrounds in engineering, manufacturing, economics, human resources, and real estate.


***** Currently, I am a heavy-volume blogger, specializing in politics, economics, and social issues. I'm a leading advocate of the Gray Renaissance, which seeks to reintegrate the over 43 percent of American citizens - and fully 1/2 of American voters - over age 50 into renewed full participation in our economy, politics, media, culture, and society.


***** I have three Ivy League degrees and graduated at top of my Ph.D. class. I've been a college professor, a corporate director of financial communications and investor relations, and a regional vice president of the National Investor Relations Institute.


***** During my years in the corporate world, as well as on a consulting basis, I've researched and prepared nearly every kind of business document imaginable: annual and quarterly reports, prospectuses, business plans, scripts, speeches, press releases, employee manuals, and company entries in books and guides.


***** I'm proud to be a recognized GOP advocate and activist, with what is almost certainly among the largest and most prestigious Republican networks at LinkedIn. I am the Manager of two current LinkedIn Groups and have managed various other Groups over the years.


What I Want: Like so many people over age 50 - no matter how well-educated, accomplished, sophisticated, and experienced we are - I've lost a goodly proportion of my life's savings due to the Great Crash and other financial vicissitudes of the past two decades.


Energized by the GOP coming back into power, I would greatly like to become part of a politically-oriented team at a think tank, publication, start-up, or nonprofit.


I'm not only willing to move, I'd be delighted to relocate to a less "Blue" state.


***** I've recently put together a multipart On-Line Portfolio, which includes about 60 of my magazine articles. Here is a link to that Portfolio:
