Hello, I am Sloan Minkus, and I am a principal in Pricewaterhouse-Cupers' cyber risk and regulatory practice, and I lead our Microsoft Cyber Alliance.

I really didn't have any idea about what I wanted to be.

It was more about what I wanted to do.

So I've always had a fascination with math and solving problems.

And I've had this almost non-linear view, even before I knew what nonlinear math was,

and I can look back on it and see that my life I saw as variables, and I was looking for ways to solve for them.

I could move forward if I saw it for one variable, and maybe I needed to take a couple of steps back and re-solp to move forward.

But I always had this sense that I would be able to do something that would be around solving problem.

Growing up, I actually had friends of all different sorts.

I really enjoyed nerding out with my friends who were willing to hack their way onto the mainframe on our local university campus.

But I was just as comfortable in the fact that I was quite athletic and I was an athlete. I found my way to connect with lots of different people. That was really important to me and maybe it was just because I saw that there

were so many different variables in life and I wasn't quite sure where I was headed.

I have an experience where in high school, someone who was older than me that I had a crush on, turned around during math class, and he looked at me and he said, Sloan, do you realize if you put 2% more effort, that you would be phenomenal at everything that you do?
