Episode 4: From the Peace Corps to the White House and Beyond with Chloe Kontos (Part 2 of 2)

“Communication is a big piece of every job I’ve ever had. If you have the best idea in the world, but you can’t explain it to people, or explain it in a way that they can understand...your idea doesn’t matter.” - Chloe Kontos

 

Part 2 of 2!  Guest host Paige Curtis continues her conversation with Chloe Kontos, the incoming Director of the Office of the CTO at MD Anderson Cancer Center. In Part 2, Chloe details how she used the four Cs (communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking) in her work in the Peace Corps, the White House, and JP Morgan Chase. Chloe also shares the value of being a generalist and finding a good mentor.
