Anastasia Neddersen Bio

Anastasia is the CEO at Whiznook Inc., drawing from a 20 year career in biotechnology as a leader and an entrepreneur.  Writing has been a faithful companion to her endeavors, providing an outlet for her to express her authentic self.  She is an auther of several published scientific papers, the owner of multiple pantents and has written a personal blog, short stories and children’s books.  Her first published children’s book, Weirdly Awesome, she wrote in response to the interpersnal challenges she faced after founding her first company.

Realizing that most entrepreneurs lack emotional intelligence skills that greatly undermine the success of their companies, she founded Whiznook to measure and cultivate collective intelligence.  Whiznook offers fun online games that extract behavioral data in real time and promote team development using adaptive training.  The data analysis of more than 100 teams that have played these games provide Anastasia a unique viewpoint on what entrepreneurs should focus on in order to leverage their great asset – their team.

Writing for the collaborative book 8 Qualitites for Great Leadership gave Anastasia the opportunity to share some of those findings while reflecting on her current aspirations.  On her journey, she is fueled by the love of her family, PLAYing in the biggest sense of the word, and always striving for a never-fully-attainable target of personal growth.
