‘Follow your curiosity,’ says CEO of Orbitz Posted on March 26th
During his last year at the University of Cambridge in England, Barney Harford, son of two educators, wasn’t sure what he wanted to do after graduation.
“Lots of big companies were interviewing on campus,” recalled Harford, who majored in natural sciences. “I decided to see what kinds of jobs they had. After interviewing with Mars, the candy company, I got feedback I’d asked too many questions and might be better suited for a job in consulting.”
Harford applied for a consulting job and was hired by Kalchas Group, a London-based strategy firm.
Two years later, he was assigned to his first Internet-related project: a cable company submitting a bid to bring interactivity to televisions in the United Kingdom.
