Question 1: Who would you say is someone pivotal to your journey so far?

Anya Du Sauzay (Head of marketing, Warner) // Austin Daboh (EVP, Atlantic)

 

Question 2: Who would be your ideal mentor, and why?

Dean Forbes / Barack Obama. Individuals who have broken the mould and transcended past expectations. It’s important to learn from people who have achieved and who have failed more times than you have for growth and accountability.

 

Question 3: What advice would you give the next Trailblazer looking to break into your field?

Never lose the hunger & stay discliplined. Your motivation may be fleeting but if you keep your ‘ why ‘ in mind, there’s no way you’ll fail. Do the work, do the research, send that email, ask that question. Be unapologetic with your pursuit to break through.

 

Question 4: Who would you like to spotlight as your Trailblazer?
