Candidate:

Mr. Tim Cook Of Seafood

About Me:

Young professionals fantasize about becoming the next Steve Jobs. The former Apple CEO represents entrepreneurial, strategic, and visionary spirit. Under Jobsā€™ leadership, Apple was known for its marketing and product design genius, yet, its finances and operations were a mess. Cook changed all that and that is why I admire him. Similar to Cook, I am operational and tactical. I would always be the first to ask ā€œHow do we get it done?ā€ every time there is an opportunity/problem presented. Strategy and vision are important, but execution is the key differentiator.
