  • In 2017 you joined Nubix and are now serving as their CEO. What problem did you intend to solve?
  • What have been some of your key use cases and wins?

  • Rachel's Advice: Find smart people who will look at the world in a really smart way and be willing to take feedback and be wrong.  Listen, and do a lot more listening than talking.
