““I have a heart for entrepreneurs of all kinds and want to be a force of support for the brave and talented leaders that seek to start and run their own companies. One of my favorite books about the difficulties of being a CEO is from Ben Horowitz’s book ‘The Hard Thing About Hard Things,’ in which Ben talks about how being a CEO is ‘the loneliest job in the world.'” As a People Operations Executive, I want to help these leaders through the good times and the bad to come out to a successful exit.”
