Values
- Bold Innovation
- We embrace innovation and encourage taking risks, actively learning in the face of failure, and not shying away from challenging the status quo to drive our mission forward effectively.
We encourage experimentation and create safe, open spaces for diverse voices and thinking.
We collaborate across teams internally allowing for experimentation and learning while actively doing.
We ask, “how can we do this?” rather than focusing on why we can’t.
