AA: When I spoke to your colleagues last, I was at Goldman, in leveraged finance and capital markets. I purposefully wanted to be more on the operating side, and I transitioned into a role within the financing division at Goldman - it was essentially a chief of staff for the financing division. And that gave me a perspective on the operating side within the firm.
