IN HIS OWN WORDS

The Q and A

  1. 01

    What do you attribute your success to?

    I attribute my success to resilience. Every day has to be better than the day before. Finding something you're passionate about makes all the difference. Everything is done at 150%.

  2. 02

    What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

    Don't let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do. Trust your decisions and have faith in yourself. You'll always get out what you put in. There's no such thing as multitasking, do one thing at a time and finish it before moving on. Drop the words 'I think,' speak with confidence instead.

  3. 03

    What advice would you give to young men entering your industry?

    Create a plan, set a goal, and think through what you need to do to get there. It's the long game. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do, and never be afraid to change roles along the way.

  4. 04

    What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

    When you are operating in a new space such as AI, and especially AI in large organizations, there is no 'best' practice or successful model to follow. Many are still figuring it out as they progress forward. Ironically, the bigger the challenge the better the opportunity.

  5. 05

    What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

    Resilience, compassion, empathy, honesty, respect, and always assume the best in people.
