  • People looking to grow. We want to work with people on their steepest upward trajectory.  

  • Proactive people. We look for people who can turn problems into solutions and solutions into action.

  • People who are not afraid of change or uncharted territory. We look for people willing to place bets.

  • Execution-driven people. While we like thinkers, we believe thoughts are only valuable to the extent they are implemented.

  • People who are customer-obsessed. We look for people who understand that  ultimate stakeholder is the customer and monitors customer feedback to improve the incremental 1%.
