Which talent would you most like to have?

I’d love to be better at selling – some people are just brilliant at it!

What do you most value in your friends and in colleagues – and are they different things?

I value the same things in friends and in colleagues: loyalty, reliability, creativeness, fearlessness, and intellect

Which historical figure do you most identify with?

From what we understand today Genghis Kahn was a pretty amazing person, unifying the tribes , founding the largest empire in history, and espousing the values of meritocracy, tolerance, diversity, and trade.

What is your motto?

Memento mori, or “remember that you have to die”. At first glance it’s morbid, but it unlocks so much insight into making the most of every moment we have on this planet.

Finally – You’ve time travelled back to your 10- year old self – What advice would you give?

This might be cheating, but I would say find great mentors who inspire you, seek their advice, and follow it if it resonates.
