Career: Dina Powell

Dina Powell has had a fascinating career in and out of politics and finance, that has left her very well positioned in both industries at a young age. She's 44 years old, and on the management committee at Goldman, and served as Deputy National Security Adviser. She claims never to have planned her career moves but to always have "taken the leap of faith."

What could an equivalent track look like? What relationships would you need to build, and where would you want to work? Is there a logic to moving between media and government that matches Goldman/NSC? Or would there be better logic to moving between cyber security / government?
