How do you usually start your day?

I get dressed and head to my local coffee shop for a quiet 15 minutes with a cappuccino

If you could spend today with anyone, who would it be? 

My grandparents. I haven't seen them since before COVID.

What’s your biggest strength? 

I am really good at learning about something, distilling it into its key components and then teaching those components to others often as a vision at work.

Three words to describe you to people who don’t know you?

Curious, ambitious, open

What’s your favorite podcast or app?

Probably Quora or the Economist

What do you like to drink?

My go-to drink if I'm with friends is a good whiskey sour

Three things you can’t live without.

Coffee, YouTube music and Wikipedia

Window or aisle?

Window, so I can see the world.

What’s one thing on your bucket list?

I want to build or contribute to something that shapes humanity.

What are you most grateful for this year?  

That I had a great job with a kick-ass boss in a company that mostly shrugged off the pandemic. Even in the depths of lockdown I had something to keep working on and keep paying for my morning coffee.

Is there a phrase that runs through your head on a regular basis?

I find that my business life often revolves around big decisions that I can't turn back from and the phrase I think in my head is "Alea Iacta est" which roughly translates to, "The die is cast".
