What stood out to me

  • The methodical way she spoke was interesting. She is the first female CTO with a PHD in economics of a fortune 500 company.
  • The call to excellence was interesting and the discussions around what having a high talent density pool means.
  • I did like the personal call to excellence and also just being thorough, following through and getting down into the trenches to help people.
