I love the team dynamic, there’s no segregation of departments, no one acts as if they’re better than the other. It’s an amazing group of people to work with.

What do you like the most about working with startups and small businesses?:

Getting to see all of the amazing things that people are working on. Especially the eco-friendly concentrated companies, it’s nice to see people working towards making a change!

A penguin walks through that door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here?:

“It’s 5 o’clock! Let’s head to the Taqueria!” And he’s here because it’s time for margaritas.

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?:

While away in Edinburgh, we got woken up at 9:45 am by a text from my mom’s cousin saying that the Red Hot Chilli Pipers (yes pipers, check them out on YouTube) were playing on an obscure platform in a train station in 10 minutes so we rushed to get dressed and ran down there to watch them play. Not the venue I expected to see them at, nor the time of day, but it was amazing to see such a talented group!
