PUF's Steve Mitnick: What are some of the fun things about your job?
Lawrence Jones: I think there may be three. The first one is dealing with the uncertainty of having a strategic conversation with an electric company executive.
I craft and conduct strategic conversations with electric company executives around the world. The fun part is being able to sit here in Washington D.C., or wherever I may be, and prepare for a conference call or face-to-face meeting with an executive who I've probably never met.
