Q&A
What defines a successful leader?
Someone that can build a talented team, empower them to perform exceptionally, and accomplish the mission and objectives of the organization.
Culture and talent are important to any company’s success. How do you engage and inspire your workforce?
1-1 interaction. Nearly every day, I have breakfast, lunch or coffee with someone on my team to spend undivided and focused attention on the people that play key roles in my organization.
Innovation and disruption are reshaping industries every day. What do you see as the number one game-changer facing businesses today?
AI (artificial intelligence) is the ultimate game changer for every industry.
Challenges abound in today’s fast-changing business environment. What keeps you up at night?
Honestly, my kids. I don’t worry about work at night; I have an amazing team in a competitive but steady industry/market and I am confident in the direction we headed in.
Why did you join Bloomberg Breakaway?
I was intrigued by the CEO event and some of the opportunities to learn as well as network with other business leaders.
Even CEOs need downtime. How do you recharge?
Even though my kids are the ones that keep me up at night, they are also my outlet to recharge and refocus. Life is short and it’s easy to get consumed by professional ambitions and lose sight on what matters most.
