Brad Navin (CEO) fighting Jakob Kuznicki (VP, GSA) at The Orchard Olympics
Last week, The Orchard’s European offices had its annual get together, inclusive of our very own ‘Orchard Olympics,’ just to get into the spirit of things!
I already knew we had a pretty special team with a diverse range of skills, talents, passions and interests, but as I surveyed the group over the next 3 days, I really began to understand just what an incredible bunch of people my workmates are! Nay, not just that I work with, but people that make things happen for our company, clients and our accounts.
When I looked around, this is what I saw: The USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Italy, Spain, Denmark, India and The Netherlands. I also came across a Classical expert, a Dance music buff, an Electronica DJ, a Blues man (or two), a Michael Jackson fanatic, a Metal head and several Indie hipster kids. But that was only scratching the surface! I also found a breakdancer, a few boxers, a yogi, a vegan, many football fanatics, some karaoke superstars (and some that were not), some savvy speakers, some smooth talkers, some quirky eaters (Chinese-style frog legs anyone?) and a couple of wild style dressers!
We were old(er), young guns, interns, company founders, territory leaders, CEOs, client managers, operations, marketing, business development, physical and artist services — some of us with all things rolled into one!
Phew…! That’s alot of good people, from a load of diverse places, doing many great things!
So, it really struck me, The Orchard is not just about our great technology, it’s truly about our people — all kinds of people, everywhere. We have someone that can help you with anything, and in many languages! Need a hand with that next Michael Jackson karaoke performance? Perhaps in a Metal style? Just let us know… we’ve got just the person to help!
