1171. A Day in the Life: What's It Really Like to Be a Chief Technology Officer?

“My high school mathematics teacher, Mr. Miller, had a unique way of making mathematics look interesting and exciting. I thrived in math under him, took advanced placement calculus and other courses, which helped me in my later life and career much more than it did in college. My appetite for mathematics and the idea that you didn’t have to rigidly stick to the textbooks, that math was much more than memorizing multiplication tables or cosigns, but that you could research and investigate the many other facets and the broader applications of math–what it was really about and how it permeates all dimensions of our world–was a powerful and positive influence on my life and career from that point forward.”
