Happy 10th anniversary, Jenny Kriha! After a decade at Versique, we asked Jenny “Why us?” and this is what she said: “Honestly, I pinch myself every day, feeling lucky to work with such a wonderful group of people and being able to help clients by bouncing ideas around, strategizing, and helping them to make significant progress and impact within their companies and teams. When I initially started looking, I wanted a nimble and supportive organization. Before meeting with Chris Dardis, I talked to a handful of trusted advisors in different industries, who all said “Dardis is the Real Deal”. The second that I sat in that interview room with him, I could tell that he had a clear and positive vision of what he was building.    Stepping into the office there was an exciting buzz. Our Core Values were on the wall and that was fun to see, of course, but I was curious how they lived out.  The reality was better than I imagined - our Core Values are what makes us so strong as a team and organization. It's inspiring to me how we continually challenge ourselves to do better and learn from each other and our valued clients. To know that I can introduce a colleague to someone and trust that they’ll be a good advisor and partner to them is such a great feeling. What my colleagues and I have done to support the communities we are in, has been amazing, and beyond career success.” She also shared that she loves it when co-founder and CEO, Tony Sorensen says ‘The best is yet to come.’ “Because he means that and wants it for all of us, all our clients and candidates.” Thanks for an amazing 10 years, Jenny - we’re so lucky to have you here! #peoplemakeitpossible
