For my entire career—from working for think tanks, to satellite companies, to the government—the understanding of geopolitics that NYU equipped me with enabled me to bring a unique and increasingly valued perspective to the table. More rising leaders are recognizing the importance of diverse educational backgrounds. In my current role, I find my experience studying international law and human rights at NYU allows me to think outside the box and encourage other senior leaders to do the same."
