Early in my career, I was lucky to land an internship with a company that was eventually acquired by eBay, propelling me into the world of e-commerce. My first job out of college revolved around handling e-commerce for major retailers, allowing me to collaborate with renowned companies. One surprise was the age dynamic. Fresh out of college, I worked with mostly twenty-somethings, with a few individuals in their thirties and forties considered the "older" ones. This challenged the notion that only older professionals could make significant contributions. The e-commerce industry defied traditional leadership trajectories., too. The CEO of the company I worked for, around 30 at the time, exemplified this shift. This realization challenged my preconceived notions from college, where professors were mostly older individuals. I had assumed that experienced professionals held leadership positions. However, e-commerce proved otherwise, embracing fresh and innovative approaches. Today, young entrepreneurs are making significant strides in various fields. The e-commerce sector reshaped the industry by recognizing young talent. Reflecting on my early experiences, I am grateful for witnessing how young professionals drive change, defying conventional notions of leadership. #entrepreneurs #ecommerce #growth
