KEY TO MY SUCCESS: Servant leadership. I believe that when you put others first, you focus on their development and success, [and] good things happen for everyone.
WHO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED MY CAREER: [Former] Gov. Glenn Youngkin. His clarity, his mentorship [and] his resolve to do what’s right instead of what’s convenient or politically expedient is a true testament to what leadership is all about.
