Parker Gals | How I Became a Chief of Staff (w/ Lena Diasti, Ariel Investments)

Liz sits down with Lena Diasti, Chief of Staff to John Rogers, founder, chairman and co-CEO of Ariel Investments. We get into what a Chief of Staff actually does, how to leave investment banking before the "two years" are up, and why relationships end up mattering more than Excel spreadsheets. Plus, a Gilmore Girls hot take and the trick for perfectly smooth hummus.
