Q5: Favorite parts - role
What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
I enjoy my current role as senior PM because it comes with a background of experience. I've been through many different types of situations, whether geopolitical, related to elections, or inflation, or just seeing many things happen in the world.
To be able to benefit from that experience and make decisions on a forward-looking basis is very enjoyable. Sharing that with people and exchanging views is also very important.
There are very few jobs where you can actually talk to CEOs every day. That level of access is something we do have, and it's very interesting.
