Toughest obstacle you’ve overcome? I switched industries—from brand management at Procter & Gamble to finance—companies, and geographies all at once early in my career. I was fortunate to have a mentor who personally helped me navigate the unexpected challenges of assuming so much simultaneous change.

Best advice you’ve been given? Make sure you understand expectations, and then strive to exceed them by the widest possible margin.
