Quotes

“Through my time at Salesforce, I had been prepping... What type of opportunity and challenge do I want to tackle next? I always tell this to folks: look for the job descriptions of the job you want to have next in 4-5 years down the road and think through what are the skills that you need to add to your tool belt. That's what I was doing. I was growing all of the skills to be a well-rounded marketer.”
