Transition from Forensics to High Performance
Dr. Julie Gerner transitioned from traditional psychology, specializing in adult psychopathology and forensics, to working closely with high-performing founders and investors. Her initial experience involved assessing individuals in clinical settings, which deeply honed her understanding of human behavior, particularly in extreme circumstances.
