Business & Entrepreneurship
The work here is about making things happen through other people. Strategy, operations, sales, product management, and building ventures from scratch all live in this area. What unifies them is a tolerance for uncertainty and the ability to move before all the information is available. There is no single dominant route into this area. People arrive from every direction, including no formal qualification at all. What matters more than credentials is evidence of initiative, commercial instinct, and the ability to bring others along.
