Q&A
What's the common thread that runs through your career?
I’m guided by my intellectual curiosity, my enthusiasm to work with passionate, high performing teams, and my desire to “make a dent in the universe.”
What's one of your superpowers?
Connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated concepts. Genuinely being happy for others when they succeed. Not following instructions, apparently.
A book you commonly gift to people?
Two books have changed my life: The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners by Jack Hawley and The Power of TED* by David Emerald.
In your spare time?
I love to read, travel, run, and spend quality time with my family (especially when it entails watching tv or movies!).
