If gifted the instant ability to master a skill, Duggan would choose storytelling—understanding its power to influence and bring people together around a shared mission. It’s a reflection of how he operates: thoughtful, communicative and always focused on the big picture.
His rise to the chief financial officer role began with a belief in the company’s potential. He recognized early on that operational gaps were opportunities for reinvention.
