Denny’s (NASDAQ: DENN) CPO, Gail Sharps Myers, began planning her career early. As a child, she wished to be an astronaut, actress, or lawyer. But soon discovered that being an astronaut was not because of her mathematics, and becoming an actress wasn’t in the cards either. But thanks to her uncle, a judge in New York, she was intrigued to pursue a career in law. In 1993, Myers graduated from Howard University and started a great foundation from Capitol Hill.
