Leasing News salutes its advisors. They do not participate in editorial decision, choosing stories or subjects, but give general advice, often on our private internal blog.
Leasing News has asked each one the same four questions to give readers more insight into their personality and experience in the industry.
1. What is the biggest issue you face in your business?
“There are many big issues we all face in our businesses today. One of the big issues that concern me most is the increasing speed of
technology change and the ongoing need to fund technology development so that we can continue to utilize state of the art systems in the performance of our services and remain technologically competitive.”
2. What advice would you give to a young person entering the business today?
“Work hard, keep a long-term focus on your career and make sure you
develop a broad experience base in all facets of the business you
choose.”
3. To what do you attribute your success?
“I attribute my success to one part hard work, one part perseverance and one part luck.”
4. What is one big thing that you hope to do before you die?
“There are many parts of the world I have not seen. I'd like to have the opportunity to travel around the world.” Leasing News Advisory Board Member Biography
