EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT      SALES + MARKETING TEAM

Curious about the employees of The Vested Group?

You've come to the right place!

Pretty much every organization you talk to these days will tell you what makes them different is their people.  While most probably say this with the utmost sincerity – as do we! – The Vested Group has given a lot of thought to our differentiator and we are able to be a little more precise. Internally, we refer to The Vested Group as TVG and we’ve discovered what makes our people different is something we refer to as TVGenius.

What is TVGenius?

TVGenius, [tee-vee-jeen-yuhs], noun:

  1.  That unique set of superpowers each one of us has that make us brilliant or amazing. Sometimes this is easy to identify like coding skills or an uncanny encyclopedic knowledge of saved search wildcards, and sometimes more elusive like being able to diffuse a tense interaction merely by your tone of voice.
  2. That spark or flash of inspiration that pops up unintentionally and inexplicably wows everyone on your project team and beyond and consistently underscores who you are and why you fit in at The Vested Group so well.
  3. The only accurate answer to: where did he learn that? …how’d she come up with that? …when did you find that? …how did he know that? …how did she do that? It’s that cool thing you do that can’t be learned or taught but just is.

 

See for yourself...

  1. What is your NetSuite superpower?  My NetSuite superpower is helping business leaders map their business goals into strategic, high impact business system initiatives. 

  2. What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on and why?  A project with a client that originally implemented their ERP system when they were a domestic, make-to-stock manufacturer but had rapidly evolved into a global engineer-to-order manufacturer.

  3. What’s your favorite remote working life-hack?  I am a very social person and prefer to work in an office setting, but when I do work remote I try to take periodic mental health breaks – a brisk walk, a couple of chapters from a book, podcasts etc. I am essentially just making sure I take a bit of a mental breather during the day and don’t spend the whole day seated in front of my laptop. 
  4. Which one of The Vested Group’s Core Values speaks to you the most and why?  Give Them Your Shirt – Going above and beyond expectations is critical to the types of partnerships we strive to establish and maintain. Trust is the ultimate currency we do business with, it is best built via exceeding expectations.
