On the Cover: What have you done professionally since winning 40 Under Forty? I have been privileged to have had a wide variety of experiences across different functions, business- es, companies and geographic locations. Through- out my career, I've always welcomed challenges and get energized by helping to create innovative solu- tions in the various roles I've had. In my current role I am charged with the over- sight of the institutional investments platform for Prudential Retirement. I've found that being a part of the transformation of the retirement landscape has been a very rewarding experience to which I hope I've made an impact. If you had to do anything over again career-wise what would you change? In my career and in life generally, I don't have a lot of regrets. I have had a wonderful journey with experiences that I could not have ever imagined. Perhaps I would have been more deliberate in my career mapping and been bolder in my approach in discovering and securing new opportunities, but then again I am very happy with how the course has played out and look for- ward to what lies ahead. What impact are young professionals having on Prudential? I am continually amazed by the diversity of tal- ent that exists within our organization, from freshly minted college graduates to seasoned industry veter- ans. I think young professionals bring a really useful lens to business situations for a number of reasons including questioning things that others have come to simply accept, representing their consumer segment from a marketplace demand perspective and infusing energy and optimism into the organizational climate. My advice to young professionals is simply as fol- lows: you know more, can influence more broadly and can add more value than some around you may lead you to believe, or that you believe on your own. Don't settle for less than giving it your all.
