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

IBM's long-standing mantra is 'Think.' What has always made IBM a fascinating and compelling place for me, is the passion of the company, and its people, to apply technology and scientific thinking to major societal issues.

Clients say, 'What's your strategy,' and I say, 'Ask me what I believe first.' That's a far more enduring answer.

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.

I think actions speak louder than words is one thing I think I always took from my mom. And to this day, I think about that in everything I do.

Any city has to give some thought to its ambition and brand in order to set sustainability goals.
