After a lot of hard work, building strong relationships, a ton of learning, and advocating for the greater good at Workiva every day, I now lead the functional area I started in.”

I want employees to feel comfortable to express themselves and reach out to me directly to share their perspective at any time. Aside from Q&A at our regular all-company meetings, our “Ask an Exec” forum is an easy way to submit questions. And my inbox is always open – I appreciate hearing from employees about what matters most to them.
