What would you tell someone just starting out in the industry right now? 

Don’t be afraid to take professional risks. If you have the skills but lack the experience, challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone. Growth often comes from taking on opportunities that stretch your abilities and help you build confidence. 

What has changed the most since you started out in the industry? 

When I started in the industry, trust software was delivered over dial-up connections. The pace of technological advancement since then has been remarkable, transforming how software is developed, distributed, and supported. 

What are you most passionate about in your role? 

I am passionate about helping clients recognize how strategically leveraging technology can serve as a catalyst for growth, improved efficiency, and achieve meaningful business transformation.
