Building a better working world

“In a time of ever-faster disruption, I’ve been mostly serving clients in the technology sector, which is particularly quick to rise and fall. I’ve learned that an ability to respond quickly and react strategically to new issues and needs, which are driven by disruptive change, leads to a virtuous cycle that creates more new and high-quality services.

As a professional services organization which contributes to building a better working world, it is important to extend this EY virtuous cycle — identify problems and provide solutions — across the organization and strengthen the collaboration between our service lines. I am working to foster a system and a structure that help enable each professional to accumulate knowledge and experience in their specialty, as well as generate innovation by promoting connections between EY people with diverse talents and values.”
