What was your best/favorite subject in school?

If I had not studied business as both an undergraduate and graduate student, I’m fairly certain I would have pursued a degree in history.

What was your first job?

My first job was as a consultant for an early-stage startup company, and I was responsible for developing the customer service programs.

Where and how did you first get into the industry you currently work in?

I studied corporate social responsibility as a part of my MBA program, which is why I wanted to pursue a role in which I could work directly with clients with the goal of consistently improving a company’s customer service program.

How have those jobs prepared you for what you do now?

All of my previous experiences reinforced the simple truth that there is lot to be learned just by listening.

Describe the best day of work you’ve ever had.

The best day of work I ever had was the first time a customer called back to thank me for addressing a concern they had previously raised.

How do you keep yourself motivated?

I’m keenly aware of the fact that there are always areas in which we can improve, so I stay motivated in order to ensure I identify those areas and develop effective solutions.

What kind of business ideas excite you most?

I love any idea that is designed with the needs of customers clearly in mind.

Have you ever tried any unorthodox techniques to attract attention to your business?

While I enjoy our marketing meetings very much, I’ve never suggested any unorthodox promotional strategies other than working to ensure our customers are treated well each and every time we interact with them.

What personal achievement are you most proud of?

There have been many instances in which I have been able to help one of our customers resolve a particularly difficult credit issue, and I count those instances among my proudest moments.

What wisdom you would have liked to share with yourself when you first started out?

There were times in which I overcomplicated things early in my professional career, so I would have encouraged myself to remember that a simple solution is sometimes the best solution.
