Leadership style: “I strive to be as inclusive and open minded as possible in building relationships internally and externally, to gather ideas from the broader team and to empower individuals to make their own decisions.”
Best actress to play you in a movie: “My best friend of 50 years immediately said Julia Louis-Dreyfus — smart, funny, authentic and a little goofy all at the same time, regularly getting well over her skies in some crazy situations! I am definitely not as swanky or stylish as Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but I probably do dance like Elaine!”
