In retrospect she says and I quote, “I’ve had quite a non-linear career journey, built through varied experiences in different industries, roles, geographies. I started my journey as a DJ in the night and a salesperson at a CD store in the day. There’s no substitute for working hard. Even the smartest people in the world work very hard.”
