At Protenus, the values of Build Trust, Be Human, Live (Em) Powered and Onward Together are baked into all that we do. We continuously look for new and rewarding ways to integrate these eight values into our work, for the ultimate benefit of employees, customers, and the company.
For March, we are excited to announce that Kevin Johnson, Manager, Customer Growth & Retention, who is a member of the Sales team at Protenus has been nominated for the Employee Values Spotlight for embodying our shared company values.
Nominating and selecting Kevin Johnson as this month's Values Spotlight winner was a no brainer. Kevin's impact is felt not only on the revenue team - but also across multiple departments including CX, finance, marketing, and the exec team. Kevin has a direct impact on two of our key company KPIs: NRR and New CARR, by ensuring our existing customers renew their contracts, and by growing those relationships and increasing New CARR through identifying and closing cross-sells, upsells, and expansion opportunities. Anyone who interacts with Kevin knows that epitomizes our values, both internally and externally to customers, and is a valuable member of the team. Here's a brief quote from one of his colleagues: "Driven, determined, reliable and fun are a few of the things that come to mind when thinking about Kevin. Kevin is a joy to work with and consistently goes above and beyond for Protenus and for his teammates. 10/10 coworker, 10/10 friend, no notes." Congrats Kevin!
