My Take
Jane D. Hartley strikes me as a study in second acts done right. Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, she sharpened her instincts in business before pivoting into diplomacy, ultimately serving as U.S. ambassador to France and Monaco and then as the 67th ambassador to the United Kingdom. Carrying negotiating savvy from the private sector into statecraft is no small feat, and France's Commander of the Legion of Honour signals that she earned genuine trust abroad rather than just holding a title. I admire watching a woman operate with that much poise on the world's biggest diplomatic stages, and her trajectory deserves applause.
