- Work well with others: Make sure all the different teams in our company (like Go-to-market and Product) are on the same page so we can deliver top-notch experiences to our customers.
- Always be improving: Look for ways to make our processes even better, to reduce time-to-value for our customers and take the lead in making those improvements happen.
