What topics and trends are you most passionate about in the industry?

Efficiency, sustainability, new technology, analog vs. digital vs. quantum, socially responsible and future-proofed.


What advice would you give to the next generation preparing for the future of the industry?

It is not a question of one industry. This is about convergence and synthesis while constantly learning. Learning never stops, and learning enriches our experience.
