What is the most important lesson you’ve learned in your career?
The most important career lesson – and my career advice – is to be genuine and always be yourself, not who you are expected to be. Being yourself will result in better interactions with investors, customers, coworkers and partners.
Who have been the biggest mentors in your career?
I’m fortunate to have met and worked with some of the most dedicated, courageous and balanced people, some of whom are also the most technical or most proficient people in their fields. I get to work with awesome people every day at all levels and have been lucky enough to learn from them.
What do you do to unplug in your free time?
I like being outdoors and away from work topics and technology, like riding my motorcycle or doing tree work. Getting outside helps me regain my sense of self and think things through without distractions.
