You are here because you are among the best
and that means you have a responsibility to yourself and others
to be part of this movement.
So that is my charge to you.
Okay?
Well, I have a small business
It's small now, but it's growing
and the first thing that really struck me when I got to AES
was, like, I started thinking global.
She has come in full of energy.
I've been so impressed by her intelligence
and ability to understand our company.
We've had her interact with
not only people from my organization in IT,
but also the finance organization with Victoria Harker,
who is our CFO, and her team.
as well as people in construction,
business development.
I'm thinking much more global
in terms of finance
because at the end of the day
that's what all business is all about.
Everything else just fits in.
And I think we had good conversations about
planning and forecasting.
That's critical to really any business.
Josephine talking through how it would fit in her model
versus how we do it,
there were less differences than we would have originally thought.
Even though we're very different types of companies.
We really got to know about each other's personal backgrounds
and families and the struggles we both have.
It doesn't matter what country you come from.
And, again, the value to me is just understanding each other's cultures.
I'm not just looking at the now. I'm looking at the future.
I have this obligation to pay it forward.
