You may have engineers designing products or creating courses that could change the world. Okoye didn’t want ideas. She wanted smooth, fluid action.

We create process flows that only a structural engineer can decipher. Over the course of our time as a leader, we can make it much more complex than it needs to be.

Imperator Furiosa: What happens if you’re not back by the time the engines are cooled? The vehicle’s engine would overheat and need to stop to cool down. It’s always tough losing people.

They understand that millennials don’t need the interaction with their salespeople as much as they need to send a text to their BFF about the color of the car or the engine.
