My father-in-law just happens to be a global procurement guru. Now retired, he was the global head of procurement for some of the biggest companies in the world as well as our very own treasury.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father was so much more than an accomplished businessman.
One of the important things for me is that my father is from Sri Lanka. But even more importantly, he was a consultant for the World Bank.
In the last 17 years of his working life, my father was finally rewarded with having landed a great job as first, a maintenance engineer, and then a senior locksmith with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
I am a product of nepotism. I don't think I would have had the profession that I'm in currently... if it wasn't for my dad.
My mother's a secretary; my father's an electrician in a mining company.
My dad is an unbelievable entrepreneur who balanced his life as a father and a president of two very successful companies.
My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
I come from a really big family, my father was a businessman and what he always instilled in us was to be your own boss. My father built up his business, and he was by no means a rich man, but he figured out how to work four-and-a-half days a week.
My mother is an office manager, my father a professor of economics and financial planner.
My father worked for governments all his life as an engineer and public works director.
