What does a day in the life of a president look like?
It really varies from president to president. My days tend to start a little bit early because my team is globally dispersed. The bulk of my team is in Latin America, but I also have teammates in the United States, Asia, and Europe.
My days tend to be more fluid; it's not a nine-to-five job. Sometimes my calls start as early as seven in the morning and can last until nine at night. In between, I have a lot of meetings, but that's also when I fit in my own chores.
These are the things you might do after five o'clock or on weekends if you had a typical 40-hour week, which I don't. So I work weekends and holidays, but that also means I don't work all the time.
During the day, I can take time off to go do certain things. I'm not chained to my desk at any one point, so I have a lot of flexibility.
It's still a very demanding role, but I really like how it's flexible. I can do the things I want to do at the time I want to do them. I'm not beholden to get permission from somebody to take time off or to enjoy a matinee in the middle of the day.
