Darrah Brustein is a serial entrepreneur, connector, and writer. She is an Atlanta transplant, by way of Philadelphia and Baltimore who holds a BA from Emory University in Religion and Italian, which she ‘naturally’ parlayed into a career in wholesale apparel sales. Ready for a new challenge, she joined forces with her twin brother to go into business brokering credit card processing and founded Equitable Payments in 2009 (which is still going strong today with business in 38 states)! Loving the excitement of entrepreneurship, she took the suggestion of some former classmates who complained about having a hard time making friends after college and founded Atlanta’s largest monthly social and professional networking organization, Network Under 40, in 2011, and subsequently Network Over 40 in 2014.
