Q. Typical day
In my approach to what I do, I'm pretty sure there are no "typical days."
Q. Career highlight(s)
In my career, I've been fortunate to work with many talented teams, and together, we've been able to take on a giant theme park mouse, confront dinosaurs in financial services, battle entrenched leaders in technology, displace kings of consumer electronics, elevate the norms in healthcare and advance the cause of automotive excellence. But all that was simply a warm up. I truly believe my career highlight(s) are yet to come.

Q. Favorite quote
"You never know the events that will transpire to get you home."
We should understand that challenging or difficult events might actually be necessary detours or learning experiences that guide us toward where we are truly meant to be, or "home" in a spiritual or purposeful sense.
​
Despite not understanding the immediate reason for certain hardships, these events are part of a larger process leading to personal growth and more fulfilling opportunities.
