What does a day in the life of a director of strategy and sales look like?
Sure, each day can look vastly different. There will be some days where it's going to be super chill, essentially if there are no problems for the day.
But unfortunately, those days are very rare given today's logistics problems, world issues, etc. So on days that look extremely bad, you could be putting out fires the moment you get into the office.
You really just depend on what the current situation is. Sometimes we have to deal with FDA issues, and sometimes we're dealing with labor law issues. So it just completely depends on what's happening.
