Also, I reasoned very early in my career that I had to be a different person at work, than I am at home, in order to be successful.
Then you completely misunderstood what he said. There is absolutely no reason at all to be concerned that it is a woman. The only thing to be concerned about is: are they competent , and are they good negotiators. He never said anything that suggested a woman wouldn't be as good at the position.
