Executive Officer
I'm a second-generation owner of my family's chain of supermarkets.
My hands are in all of the departments of our businesses. That includes human resources, operations, finance, IT, and all day-to-day activities. I make sure to be as involved as possible so that I can lead the company forward.
Here's the first step for everyone
Connect with people and find mentors to learn from. I attribute a lot of my success to learning from mentors. If you're nervous about finding a mentor, it really just starts with asking a question. Just one question about a person's job or experience opens the door for more connection. A lot of people think that they should only speak to people in their own industry or people at senior career levels. I don't agree. You can learn something from anybody.
