Advice for Rising
Executives
" A good mentor once told me to ask as many questions
as you can and do the absolute best job no matter what
that job is. "
- Ned Musgrave

" It's important to be knowledgeable and up to date on
the latest market trends in the capital markets and
global economy. Financial literacy is critical. "

" Try to learn as much as you possibly can. Be the biggest
sponge you can be, and soak up as much information
as you can to be able to utilize it in your career going
forward. The benefits of this work you are putting in
now are not going to be realized tomorrow; they're going
to be realized in the years and years to come. "
- Aaron Prothero

" If you want to develop as a professional in this
industry - or any other - the No. 1 thing is doing
your current job in a world-class manner. No. 2 is to
have a genuine interest in what's happening in your
business and in the industry that doesn't directly relate
to you. If you actively build your network, actively
look to understand your business and actively look
to understand the industry, you will stand out. The
progression takes care of itself. If you're doing those
things, and the progression isn't taking care of itself,
then you're in the wrong place. In my conversations with
more junior executives on my team, there's this drive
to make the next thing happen. I was also like that, but
I've learned that, actually, making the next thing happen
is very much about doing the current thing really well. "
- Paul Geaney

" Don't be afraid to reach out to people. Members of the
aviation community generally love what they do, and
they are excited to meet passionate people who want to
get involved. "
- Bridget Corry

- Andrew McCarley
