Here are some key takeaways from the interview:

  • Don’t be contented with the status quo. Always strive to be better than the former days.
  • People are naturally resistant to change because of the lack of knowledge of new technology. Before expecting stakeholders to embrace any new innovation, business leaders need to help them understand the bigger picture.
  • To make the world a better place, leaders in the sustainability space need to drive the change and inspire others to follow them.
  • To solve future problems, leaders need to learn collaborative skills to bring all industry experts together.
  • Be curious enough to take the narrow path to carve out your own purpose.
  • Running a business is no longer about product features, but about impact. Positive impact will lead itself to business sustainability and profits.
