What’s Your Why?

My why is to make a difference and to empower those around me to do the same. I’ve been fortunate in my career to work with exceptional leaders who encouraged me to be disruptive, challenge the status quo, and to lead with positivity and authenticity. I want to give back in the same way and ensure that all of our employees are afforded the same opportunity – to be great and do great things for each other and our teams as well as our customers.
