WHAT IS ONE THING YOU HAD TO OVERCOME TO SUCCEED IN THIS INDUSTRY?
“I’ve learned to embrace change. Change management doesn’t come natural to most of us and it is an area where I’ve grown a lot over the years. Our industry is nuanced and ever evolving. Change is a constant in my life, and I most enjoy driving and participating in transformational initiatives designed to improve the customer experience.”
