What is your Risepoint moment?

Earlier in my career as a consultant, I was constantly dropped into unfamiliar situations - one month shaping technology strategy, the next running business operations, building complex technology systems, redesigning business processes, leading creative design and ad creation, or driving digital strategy for global brands. This variety of experiences taught me to adapt quickly, move fluidly between strategy and execution, and combine analysis and creativity to make a lasting impact. That was my Risepoint moment: realizing the power of integrating diverse ways of thinking to solve problems with both rigor and originality.
