Advice: “Surround yourself with strong talent — hire people smarter than you. Listen. Communicate. Take risks and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Never stop learning. It’s OK not to have all of the answers. Focus on collaboration and modernization. Most of all, be authentic and do what you love.”
Surprising fact: “I grew up playing competitive tennis and went to college on a tennis scholarship. My career goal at the time was to be a sports broadcaster.”
