My theory: Her success was much more due to connections through her father than people acknowledge. She grew up all over the world due to her father's government positions in international aid. Her board is made up of prominent people involved in US foreign relations. Seemingly, these might be people her father dealt with working for the government in international aid. If you go to raise money and you have prominent people already on your board, you're likely to find success.
