I’m impressed by how colleagues within each org display our company principle of 'customer-obsessed.' When everyone lives the principle by 'asking yourself whether you would be impressed,' it makes building best-in-class products that much easier.

What makes someone successful on our team is the willingness to learn and openness to be a part of something special. Being successful requires clear and open communication, providing support, access to great resources, and diversity. I am so fortunate to be able to rely on my team for all my needs within the company.

One of the best ways to remain accessible is to proactively reach out and connect with others, both virtually and in person. In the office, I like to visit with people over lunch, and virtually, I use the Donut app via Slack to randomly connect with one new person in the company each week.
