| As my previous role of 6 years was evolving and would entail considerable travel, I knew it was time to begin a new search (with many mixed emotions). My last job was my “home,” and my next landing would have to feel the same. I applied at C&W, and was looking for a place where I could make an impact, mesh with the culture and work with peers and employees that kept true to the core values of a firm. I made an instant connection with the HR team that I would join, as well as the NJ Market Leader whom I would support. I knew it was a time of great change for the organization, and I am one who likes a challenge.
That combination for me at C&W sealed the deal. I worked on many integration projects, as well as understanding the dynamics of the brokers and service lines that I would support. During that time, the Market Leader and I were looking to replace the role of Director of Operations. After many interviews, we took a break to regroup, as we were not finding what we were looking for. It wasn’t until senior management in Tri-State changed and offered a new view point of the role — which was to find a trusted adviser, one who can step into the role, assess the needs of the region, quickly earn the trust of the population and be his “right hand (wo)man” — that the Market Leader realized that I would be a great fit. With that, we digested the possibility, and I accepted the role with much excitement! |
