What is one thing that helps keep you motivated throughout the day?

I’m motivated each day by a conviction to help people live fuller, healthier lives. To date, more than 65 million class reservations have been booked on the ClassPass platform. That’s 65 million hours of people’s lives we’ve helped to enrich and improve. It’s a humbling statistic and one that keeps me perpetually motivated to do even more and try even harder.

What's the last thing in your bag on your way out of your home on a work day?

A water canteen and a bag of almonds.

What's the best thing on your desk?

I can’t pick just one, so here are three: Inspirational quotes, photos of my loved ones, and green tea.

What’s something you bought for your yourself that you wish you had much sooner?

A great travel bag. I spend a lot of time on the go. It was highly worthwhile to invest in great luggage.

What are the products that make your daily routine easier or more enjoyable?

I keep spare skincare products, makeup, chargers, adapters, medicine, and healthy snacks both in my luggage and in my laptop bag. That way I have my essentials whenever I need them -- whether it’s on the way to the airport or for use after a workout carefully squeezed between meetings.
