Five years and counting … and what a professionally rewarding experience it has been! I’m convinced that TekSynap doesn’t hire employees – but rather we hire and inspire our people to create and grow professional careers. Going a bit old-school, the Latin root of the word career comes from “carrus” meaning “chariot” and “carriera” meaning “racetrack” … evoking images of Ben Hur, taking the reins of your professional chariot, galloping through your career racecourse, overcoming insurmountable challenges to finish victoriously.(May need to remove this for space) I’m a firm believer that our professional careers are meant to be historical expressions of who we are and what we accomplish, to include those who we inspire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s been my experience working alongside some incredibly talented and motivated professional colleagues here at TekSynap. Every single day I’m amazed with the energy of our people, and the family-like nature of our corporate culture. In the twilight of my professional career, TekSynap has given me a wonderful opportunity to help shape, mentor, and challenge a number of our professionals to learn, grow, and reach for the stars. I am inspired when I see our employees take a sigh of relief accomplishing challenging projects, innovating cool solutions, and proudly posting on social media showing off their 5-year reward trips to far flung places across the globe. Many of those social media postings include family members. That’s because our assignments are demanding and recognizing the personal sacrifices of our employees, and their families is a testament to our company’s culture.
