What’s one thing – either industry-related or not – you learned in the last month?

No matter how closely you work with partners, prepare, and train for a technology transition, you need to be flexible and prepared to adapt, as it’s never quite what you think it will be.

How do you define success?

The success of those one has mentored and fostered along their career paths.

What’s the last book you read or TV series you binged?

People love the networking at SIIM. Do you have a networking story?

I remember the first SIIM (SCAR) meeting I attended and running into CEO Anna Marie Mason in the hotel club as I was getting breakfast – we had never met before, but she came up to me and welcomed me to the society, noting how much she was looking forward to my (invited) talk. I had never had that happen at a professional meeting before and thought to myself – this is going to be the start of a great group to belong to!
