If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

I would love to be able to teleport. I am often traveling from Europe to the States, and it is quite difficult to cross many time zones. It would be amazing to teleport to a different country without losing any time or suffering from jet lag.

What is your favorite city, and why?

This is a hard question. I will always have love for Chicago because it is where my family lives and where I attended university. I am currently based between NYC and London. I feel comfortable in both cities because they are fast-paced and business-oriented. Eventually, I would like to settle in one city and build a solid home base.

What is your view of success, and have you had any failures?

I measure success by giving back. I view moments where I have made a positive difference in someone’s life as a success. Yes, I’ve had my fair share of failures. I encourage taking risks and do not regret my past decisions because those decisions have brought me to where I am today—and I’m enjoying this moment.

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

It would be amazing if we could all be less judgmental. Generally, I think there is a lack of understanding, which stems from preconceived notions that lead to judgments, miscommunication, and ultimately create conflict.
