"It’s people. Not paper. Not process. Not pineapples. People. Investing in people. Not rocket science, though even rocket scientists won’t produce rockets without people. Simple, effective, but easier said than done. That’s why this is a purpose driven business, and that’s why it’s the best job in the world."
