Margeaux reached for her laptop, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of hits with her mother’s name and job titles, from chief information officer at Salesforce.com to her current role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. “See, my mom’s not dead,” she said. “My mom’s famous.”

Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She doesn’t fall into the guilt trap these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is content that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.

The relative quiet of spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.

“She’s spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further，” he says, “and this lifestyle
