What were your highlights of last year?
Mitsubishi, Corning, and SUSE pitches rise to the top, as well as getting the company transfer process to the UK underway!
What has been your most memorable win - and why?
The wins that drive visible change within the agency standout. 3M was an example of that--with so much work to deliver, I temporarily converted to client services to help onboard! A busy (and fun) time, for sure.

Find out what it will take to win. Meticulously manage, communicate, and collaborate to that end.

"Figure out your north star, and follow it relentlessly." - Lori Feld (one of the many nuggets of wisdom from my mentor)
