What motivates me:
1. Purpose. I want to solve problems that matter
2. Impact. I’m not here to be incremental
3. Culture. Be a “learn it all”, not a “know it all”
My leadership principles:
1. Be a servant leader: Inspire, empower, & enable teams to execute
2. Always do what’s best for the business, not what’s politically popular.
3. Let results do the talking
