And the reason I came to IBM was I think - I always say at a really early age, I learned you've got to be passionate about what you do. No matter what it is, you put too much, your heart and soul in it, you have to be passionate about it. You make too many sacrifices.

If you're clear on what you believe, you have a great foundation to go make a market.

Big Data will spell the death of customer segmentation and force the marketer to understand each customer as an individual within eighteen months, or risk being left in the dust.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.

Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word “inclusion.” And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It’s not men, it’s not women alone. Whether it’s geographic, it’s approach, it’s your style, it’s your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it’s your age - it is really broad.

Someone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it’s a really good thing to remember.

I learned to always take on things I'd never done before. Growth and comfort do not coexist.
