For this reason, they also become the requirement of how we design jobs and what we look for in those we hire and promote.

Sense of Urgency

• Our business moves fast and so do we. We understand the power of now.
• We have relentless drive and believe if it can be done, we’re the ones who will do it first.

Authenticity

• We need to stay real because our brands, our stories and our culture must remain genuine to thrive.
• When we have the best intentions for all, we create space to be our whole selves and do great things together.

Simplicity

• Our lives are complicated enough. So why use 50 words when you can use 5?
• We thrive in ambiguity and change, but we also know how to translate our goals into simple explanations and actions.
