Notable Quotes (4)
This is a datadriven job. This is a policydriven job, but mostly this job is about people.
I felt this weight just gently settle on my shoulders. It wasn't heavy. It wasn't overburdening, but it was a responsibility.
I really just think we need to tighten up these processes on this so that we don't run into these additional costs.
By going back and asking these questions in advance, we actually either get to the point where we know better what the costs are going to be.
