Sports have always been a really important part of how I energize myself, as well as how I relax. I spend a lot of my spare time with my family playing tennis, biking and rollerblading.

Exposure to a diversity of disciplines has been exceptionally helpful to me.

I hate to see people frustrated or leave a company for an opportunity they could easily have had at their current company if they had only asked.

It's clear that agriculture, done right, is the best means the world has today to simultaneously tackle food security, poverty and environmental degradation.

Do your job brilliantly and the cream will rise to the top.

It's fair to characterise me as competitive and determined, but anyone who works with me will attest to the fact I believe very strongly in the notion of servant leadership.

I am very excited and delighted to be an important part of the development of corporate America.
