Most importantly, you are Confident, Capable, Curious and Customer Obsessed. Being Confident means presenting your opinions or admitting when you don't have the answer. Being Capable means having the skills you need to succeed, and able to learn the ones not yet in your wheelhouse. Being Curious, your thirst for knowledge and self-improvement, your comfort in boldly questioning the status quo, and leaving 'artificial harmony' at the door help define you. Being Customer Obsessed, means placing the customer at the heart of every decision, action and strategy. It's about deeply understanding customer needs, anticipating challenges, and continuously innovating to deliver exceptional experiences.
