Thank you for the write-up! It's a little depressing (but not entirely surprising) to hear that you couldn't get folks excited about safety -- I work in the aerospace field, and our day-to-day is all about risk management: how, why, when. It's frustrating that high-reliability systems aren't seen as exciting when really they're what makes the magic run.

Best of luck, and I'm looking forward to your next venture!

Ironically, in my experience, finance is the field that probably cares most about risk management. That and maybe healthcare (though less than you would think, surprisingly).
It’s the same thing when it comes to quality. A lot of lip service paid but no one sees it as anything exciting.
