Denice Kronau is a seasoned corporate executive, non-profit board member and author with over 35 years of leadership experience working for the world’s leading multinationals including Siemens, Diageo, Kraft and Philip Morris. Skilled at leading highly matrixed, global organizations, Kronau has held numerous C-suite positions throughout her career including CFO, CEO and Chief Diversity Officer. A recognized authority on the importance of personal and career fulfillment, Kronau’s first book, “Falling in Love With Work,” is non-fiction and was written to help people find joy in their work.

Her corporate career has inspired her characters as she has branched out to writing novels. Her first novel, “The World is Decorated With Stars,” tells a love story for the ages. It tells two parallel stories of two couples, Abigail and Matthew, living in Massachusetts. This meticulously researched story deftly alternates between centuries and a backdrop rooted in historical events.

Her second novel, “The Stars That Guide Us,” is the second in the Stars series and continues the love story of Abigail and Matthew thirty years later with their daughter Sarah and her husband, Samuel. They faced a significantly changed world on Nantucket as its lifeblood—whaling—has come to an end. The story continues the alternating centuries begun in the first Stars book and we learn from Abby and Matt that being married in a prior life doesn’t guarantee success in this one.
