Now 69, he’s a consultant for Patina Solutions, a management consulting firm.
A flexible schedule allows him to set his own pace. “After I finish an assignment, I can usually take time off to recharge before beginning a new assignment,” says O’Shea. “I believe the businesses give me a purpose in life,” she says. “I have employees who rely on me, and it gives me something productive to occupy my time.”“Working this late in life keeps me both mentally and physically sharp, since every day I have to critically think through decisions,” she says.
