  • Bias for Action : We operate with urgency; we don't leave for tomorrow what can be done today
  • Little Things Count : We differentiate ourselves by focusing on the little things. We believe small but thoughtful considerations and gestures can have an outsized impact
  • Punch Above our Weight : We don't fear the competition, rather we see our nimbleness as a competitive advantage. We carry ourselves with confidence and conviction in our abilities
  • Truth Seekers : We seek truth above pride and ego. We hold each other accountable with respect and in the open. We don't talk behind each other's backs. One team member's problem is the whole team's problem
