He is adamant that Finance should be seen for more than just hard skills and that employees should be clear about what would make a difference to them in their work lives. With the rise of data and artificial intelligence in the Finance discipline, Lou has advice for anyone early in their career. He’s also proud of Xylem’s mission to make the world a better place, through bringing safe water to people.
