Our Culture And Values

• Speed and focus is how we execute on our strategy. We have a bias for action. Speed is our biggest advantage.
• When forced to choose between breadth versus depth, we narrow the focus and increase the quality to maintain the speed.
• There is no middle ground between “success” and “failure” for our customers. We are committed to ensuring our customers succeed and hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards.
• We act as Owners and Builders. It is unacceptable to say a problem is “above my pay grade.” When needed, we go directly to the person or team who has line responsibility for solving the problem.
• We perform as a team, while encouraging independent thought and rigorous debate.
• Whenever possible, we play the long game. When needed, we will sacrifice short-term results that are in the long-term interest of the company.
• Diversity is part of our foundation - our entire industry relies on groups of people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds coming together to coordinate a single commercial transaction. You can expect to interact with users and partners who may not speak your same language or have different business customs and cultural norms.
