| Q. |
Are you using your HBS degree on the job? |
| A. |
Every day. I use the degree in trying to run the division and make it profitable. A lot of the HBS knowledge and learning I use is around strategic processes, because that's where I'm spending most of my time: strategic planning, direction and vision-setting. |
| Q. |
Are you involved in any hobbies or community organizations? |
| A. |
My hobbies are mostly around sports, whether that's golf, tennis, or coaching one of my ten-year-old daughter's teams. I'm not yet involved in any community organizations as I'm just starting to get my feet wet here. |
| Q. |
What do you like most about northeast Ohio? |
| A. |
It's home. I grew up here and went to Rocky River
High School and then to MIT. My family has Cleveland
in its roots. I love being back here to be able to hop
up to NY State to go skiing with my family at Peek-n-Peak.
And we love having access to Chautauqua in summers. |
| Q. |
Why did you join the club? |
| A. |
I wanted to get plugged in to what's going on around
here. The Dave and Busters event is the first thing
I went to. It was great. I walked in "cold turkey" to
a bunch of strangers, and realized as I was singing the
Brady Bunch theme song and doing the cha-cha-cha around
the room that this really is a good way to break the
ice and realize we're not all stuffy Harvard people. |
