Absorb is on a mission to the moon! We set lofty goals for ourselves and we knock those goals out of the park. What I love the most about the path to those achievements is that we do it as a team. We live and breath the ethos that "it takes a village". Our Account Management group isn't successful without the success from every single group at Absorb: SDRs, Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Client Success Managers, Implementations, Billing, Accounting, Finance, etc. We want to build each other up and empower each other to win. We progress as a team and we win as a team. - Garratt Hooker, Manager, Account Management
