Why did you choose to join the BrightEdge team?
For me, it came down to several factors:

3) BrightEdge has an impressive record of meeting financial and development milestone accomplishments.

I’m the Director of Program Management. Over the past year, I’ve worked with our CTO to improve engineering’s efficiency without disrupting our culture. Prior to BrightEdge, for about 12 years, I managed large-scale implementation projects for financial services organizations.

I’m most passionate about inspiring others to transform into their maximum potential and achieve their goals.

What do you love about your coworkers?
I love that my coworkers are eager to help regardless of their title. I love that they are willing to rally together to accomplish great things!
