Why this topic matters
First impressions can make or break EM interviews. When you're speaking to a Director+, they form opinions fast. You need to open with strong, relevant points that set the right tone—because the way you introduce yourself isn’t just small talk. It’s your first chance to prove your leadership, judgment, and impact. Nail this, and you control the conversation. Miss it and you’re playing catch-up.
