my biggest a-ha moment from your JDA was realizing many of my skills are also sought in a Chief Risk Officer role
“Besides realizing that I really like being a GC, my biggest a-ha moment from Jared's JDA was realizing many of my skills are also sought in a Chief Risk Officer role - and that companies are starting to merge those roles together. Big picture, that means I can really lean into my risk management experience as a GC.”

I'm at a loss for words
“The work Jared put into this, and the deliverable, is so different and so much more, so much better. I'm at a loss for words. I look at résumés regularly, typically for people who are trying to get a job within the company or department, and they're very straightforward. I don't see résumés at the higher level and certainly don't look at board résumés, so this is all new to me.”
