His ability to combine technical expertise with a friendly, solution-focused approach truly embodies the three Rs.
Praise for Wesley:
“Wes and Koen have proven to be an unstoppable Systems Team for Strategic. From problem-solving, to streamlining, to innovative ideas for better company performance, their dedication and their outstanding creativity has made a difference for every department. Systems support very often means thinking big and explaining small, and Koen and Wes excel at tailoring their knowledge and support to the needs of every team and every team member. Thank you both for your quick response to each need, and your professional, friendly approach to keeping our technology running smoothly!” – Kirsten Lazio, Customer Solutions Manager
“Wes stepped into a leadership role with the systems team three months ago and has truly embodied the three Rs and servant leadership in the process. He is an excellent communicator and project manager, but is also humble and leads through asking great questions rather than having all of the answers.” – Kenneth Reyes, President
A Word from Wesley:
“I enjoy working at a place that values caring for people, and I appreciate the variety of projects I get to contribute to. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and our baby, cooking, and being outdoors. I grew up backpacking frequently and still enjoy exploring remote areas whenever I can. I’ve also really enjoyed participating in the office team tech trainings, where I get to share exciting software features we discover with the rest of the team. It’s rewarding to bring that sense of discovery and the quality-of-life improvements that motivate the systems team to the rest of the office.”
