Brian Tran (Account Manager)

As someone who thrives being around a team oriented environment, I found myself not finding the growth I was seeking being behind a computer all day. With a Computer Science degree, it allowed me to acquire skillsets and experience, but I knew those jobs were not where i belonged. What separates this opportunity from others is how it provided me self development, personal growth, and the refinement of myself that i yearned for. Being surrounded by like minded individuals who are passionate about their success allowed me to flourish. Not only did I find growth but it solidified my belief that seeing others’ success is more satisfying than seeing my own. I will forever be in debt to my parent’s journey from Vietnam to America. Until the day I provide them with everything and more, the job is never done. The quote that is embedded on my beliefs is, “They say Sky’s the limit, but people are walking on the Moon.”
