What's the best piece of career advice you've ever received, and who gave it to you?

The best career advice I ever received was: ‘Never put yourself in a position where you’re accountable for outcomes but not empowered to drive change.’ That advice came from a senior executive mentor early in my leadership career, and it fundamentally shaped how I evaluate opportunities, build teams, and lead organizations. It taught me the importance of having a seat at the table, aligning security and privacy with business strategy, and ensuring that leadership roles come with both responsibility and the authority to make meaningful impact.

If you could master any skill instantly, what would it be?
