"I spent a year teaching history and politics at a prep school in Connecticut before starting at IBM, and my nearly 15-year journey here has put me in several mission-critical roles, like working as the AI federal leader for IBM Consulting and in the office of the chairman and CEO. Now, as the global head of venture capital, no two days are the same, especially since I spend a lot of my time traveling between Washington, DC, and New York City, or around the world."
"My two doodles, Dottie and Winnie, wake me at dawn every day, and one of them even stomps her feet to get my attention. I always start by looking through emails and Slack for 30 to 60 minutes just to make sure I haven't missed anything urgent, and then scanning my calendar. I make a little time to listen to podcasts - I like daily episodes from The Economist"
