我生了兩個(gè)漂亮的女兒。

您經(jīng)歷過(guò)最大的失敗是什么？

嚴(yán)格來(lái)說(shuō)，是我在1999年創(chuàng)辦了Patkai Networks，后來(lái)公司倒閉了。這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)也是最重要的一次學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。它讓我明白，我的學(xué)習(xí)存在很大的空擋，我在后來(lái)抓住機(jī)會(huì)填補(bǔ)了這個(gè)差距。

哪個(gè)科技部門最令您著迷？

基因組學(xué)——這個(gè)學(xué)科出色地融合了計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)與生物學(xué)——它證明了跨學(xué)科工作的巨大力量。

您如何實(shí)現(xiàn)工作生活的平衡？

我盡量嚴(yán)格界定自己的個(gè)人時(shí)間和工作時(shí)間。工作的時(shí)候，我會(huì)全身心投入。與家人在一起的時(shí)候，我也會(huì)全心全意陪著他們。我們外出度假的時(shí)候，我會(huì)關(guān)掉所有電子設(shè)備。我不會(huì)一醒來(lái)就查看電子郵件。睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候，我會(huì)把手機(jī)放在廚房的臺(tái)子上。

What is your greatest achievement?

My two beautiful daughters.

What has been your biggest failure?

Technically it was the failed startup I founded in 1999, Patkai Networks. It was also my biggest learning experience. It informed me of critical gaps in my learning, which I then sought to fill in my next set of opportunities.

What technology sector excites you most?

Genomics -- it's an amazing confluence of computer science and biology -- a testament to what interdisciplinary work can accomplish.

What do you do to live a balanced life?

I try to stay disciplined about my personal and professional time. When I am at work, I give it my all. When I am with my family, I give them my all. I disconnect from electronic devices when we are on vacation. I don't do email every waking moment. I leave my phone on the kitchen counter when I go to bed.

What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

Compassion.

Is business school necessary for entrepreneurs?

No. Your startup is the best school you'll ever go to -- if you keep an open mind and are intellectually curious through the journey.
