She explained what it was like growing up in Flint, Michigan, and described career advice she learned from her father, an entrepreneur and immigrant. Anjali Sud has always sought out opportunities that aren't easy — that seem intimidating at first. She left Flint, Michigan, at 14 for the elite Massachusetts boarding school Phillips Academy on a scholarship. And she became the CEO of Vimeo at 34. "I think that when you are pushed outside of your comfort zone, you get off that learning curve so much faster and you develop as a leader so much faster," she told Business Insider in an episode of our podcast " Success!
