The Joy of Career Pivoting: A Journey from GE Capital to the Italian Countryside


Listen Later

In this episode we dive deep with Dartmouth alumna , a bike tour guide and quilt-maker in Italy who traded Wall Street for winding roads. Alex takes us through the twists and turns of her life, as an Art History major whose path from GE Capital's prestigious Leadership Program to the sun-dappled shores of Lake Como reads like a masterclass in following your heart's compass. Through Alex’s journey we uncover how life’s “wrong turns” often lead us exactly where we need to be.
