My parents believed in the American dream and the power of education, but didn't have the money to send me to college. I realized early on that I needed to go against the flow and be better than everyone else to support my family.

I want to leave Accenture better than I found it. I am focused on investing our people, our community and effective diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Diversity is critical to our business outcomes.

It takes work to figure out how to bank on your phone, how to sign up for classes, how to connect in a community.

My dad painted cars for a living. He didn't graduate from high school.

You can be in Shanghai on a Thursday, London on Friday, and in bed at home by Friday night.

I'm driven by making an impact on the individuals I interact with and leveraging my success to give back to the world.

I want to have a really big impact on my kids, my community, and my company.

We want the brand of Accenture to be innovation.

An employee, even a very junior person, if they can articulately summarize a meeting, if they can put together a presentation and even emails that are really salient and to the point, they are so valued.
