THE UNCONVENTIONAL PATH
From commerce ledgers to autonomous AI.
A commerce graduate on the CFA track, but my heart was always in software engineering. So I learned it the hard way and built my way to VP, Technology.
“I never took the straight road into tech. I earned every layer of it, and that's exactly why I can lead it.”

The pivot: self-taught engineer
