What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a combination of disciplined analytical thinking and a deep commitment to people. Throughout my career, I’ve learned that strong financial leadership isn’t only about numbers—it’s about understanding the impact those numbers have on individuals, teams, and the broader community. My ability to connect financial strategy with human outcomes has helped me build trust, guide organizations through change, and deliver meaningful results.
I also credit my success to the values instilled in me early on: compassion, integrity, and a sense of responsibility to contribute positively to the world around me. These values influence how I lead, how I collaborate, and how I make decisions. Whether I’m supporting a business unit through financial challenges or working with community organizations, I approach every situation with empathy and a genuine desire to help others succeed.
Finally, continuous learning has been central to my growth. I’ve intentionally sought out diverse roles across industries and cultures, which has broadened my perspective and strengthened my ability to solve complex problems. I believe that staying curious, staying engaged, and staying grounded in purpose have been key to becoming the professional—and the person—I strive to be every day.
