Success Stories
Tom Burke, CRO
"Kristen challenges me to think differently and ultimately makes me a better person. More importantly, any time someone on my team had a challenge (professional or personal), Kristen was the first person I recommended they speak with. Most of my team meets with her regularly and consistently tells me how special she is."
Tara Whelan, SVP HR
"What makes LEAP (leadership program) truly stand out is that the growth it sparks isn’t limited to your role at work, it shows up in every area of your life. It challenges you to take ownership of who you are, how you show up, and the impact you have on others. LEAP is not just a leadership program, it’s a catalyst for becoming a more grounded, intentional, and empowered version of yourself."
Andrey Feldman, SVP Product
"I think today's meeting was a case in point of the changes in the dynamics and communication between the team members that your work has directly contributed to achieving. Your role has made a huge difference in the company and the product organization. This is something that every company should invest in - the most important asset, the human capital."
