 Oliver's
career has taken many turns.
|
Oliver
is president and CEO of Integrated Business
Solutions, a computer consulting firm with
headquarters in San Ramon and branches in San
Francisco, Sacramento, Chicago, and Washington
D.C. A slim woman in her mid-'50s, Oliver dresses
and moves with the flair of a diva, talking
generously but reserving her deep laugh for the
right occasions. Oliver's career path has taken
many turns. When she closed her store, the Boot
Broker in Denver, Oliver worked for a variety of
public transportation and utility agencies. Here
she developed Minority/Women Business Enterprise,
a series of programs that worked to increase
salary contracts awarded to minority-owned firms.
Recently, she also led a delegation of small
business owners to Washington DC at the
appointment of President Clinton.
In the
meantime, however, her connection to hometown
politics has changed.
