"I followed a very traditional path, getting into college, getting a degree in Finance, going into strategy consulting, getting my MBA from Harvard, and working in Corp Strategy for one of the largest companies in the world. I never thought much about it and really just tried to optimize for security, control, and following a path that I thought I was "supposed" to follow."
