Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman knows how to make things happen. Not only has she attained a black belt in Taekwondo, but she’s also the first woman to lead a major US stock exchange.
“It’s really, really important to own your life and own your career,” Friedman tells CNN’s Poppy Harlow in the latest episode of Boss Files. “You have to understand where you want to take your own career and you have to find ways to make it happen. No one else is going to sit there and do it for you. It’s really up to you.”
