What Guides My Decision-Making: Building a diverse team around me has been one of the key drivers of my career successes.
Favorite Quote: I’m a fan of Mamie Earl Sells’ philosophy to “lift as we climb,” and I think those of us in leadership positions, particularly women, can do a better job of really tapping into that mindset.
Most Important Leadership Quality: Tap into the power of change.
The Advice I’d Give Someone New: Be a continual learner. Don’t be overly focused on how fast you can move up. Learn to see the value in acquiring new experiences and new ways of approaching issues and opportunities.
Hobby/Passion: Being immersed in an activity like wake surfing, hiking or playing golf helps me relax.
