Who are you?
You’ve been obsessed with impact throughout your career - right now it’s obvious to you that stopping Donald Trump is the biggest impact you can have. You’re sharp at assessing situations - strategy, projects, people, technology, or data - and ensuring the right processes are in place to quickly set things up for growth. You are comfortable overseeing HR and finance functions, have comfort with financial modeling, and can meaningfully contribute to business strategy, including analyzing costs. You get a perverse kick from enforcing norms and process and keeping people accountable to what’s been agreed to. You love being scrappy as fuck and are able to coach team-members to do it quicker, cheaper and more effectively.
