Q & A

Q:

Was there a specific incident in your life that made it clear you were made for this career?

I ended up here after two earlier “acts”, first as a technologist at IBM and then as a management consultant. However, I believe those prior experiences each lent something crucial to my professional development and help make me effective in this career. Computer programming (at least as it was back in the 1980s) was predicated on logic, detail, and precision, while management consulting is conceptual, strategic, and deals with ambiguity. Advising clients on their wealth requires a blend of these two types of thinking and problem-solving.
