• Never Screw the Customer – We have walked a mile in your shoes. Experience matters. We drive innovation to generate business value. Be true – no BS.
• GSD (Get Stuff Done) – We take initiative and never make excuses. We act with urgency, and we delivery high quality outcomes with extreme velocity. We embrace process discipline, drive continuous improvement, and stay audit ready. We relentlessly execute and plan for tomorrow by creating sustainable outcomes. That is how we win!
