First Job

Salesperson for the clothing store, The Limited

Proudest Moment

Professionally, a standout for me is when our sales team won a $100M a year contract, which was the largest industry win in history. It changed the course of the company and drove incredible momentum like only growth can do.

What Drives You

Being my best, working with amazing people, and winning in the market.

Motto for Life

Looking back, I see that the motto “the days are long, but the years are short” is too true. Enjoy the ride!
