He also has been driving many other initiatives within Enavate. I would describe Chad as a driven individual, but one that has a calm demeanor. He is a great listener and provides his thoughts, but never pushes his ideas down to make you feel like there is no choice by to go with his suggestion.” 

• Enavate Consulting Services (ECS) – Rob Pratt, Cloud Implementation Specialist 

• • “Rob started process improvements where he saw the opportunity to do so. He’s created a process to import customer information into Service Now that gives all team members essential info on new customers for troubleshooting, for example. If you need help with anything, Rob will have a new and different viewpoint to help improve.”

• • “Maksym’s fellow team members really respect him and appreciate the time he takes to train other developers and collaborate with them – which he does even with a full project workload. We need more team members like Maksym at Enavate, willing to mentor fellow team members to assist them in the progression of their careers.” 

• Enavate Human Relations and Culture (HRC) – Michele Herrera, Global HR Operations Lead 

• • “Michele stepped up into interim CPO (Chief People Officer) while we needed someone to take the lead. She continued to do her job, the CPO job and did it without a complaint or concern for herself. She didn’t ask for anything and it was a tremendous commitment to take one. It was in full service to the company, our goals and needs, and was a beautiful example of embodying the commitment she has to the company and our team members.” 

• Enavate Finance and IT – Renee Gibbs, Senior Staff Accountant  

• • “Renee is always putting others first and makes sure everyone on the team is happy and healthy. In the difficult times when FIT pod lost some key experienced members, she had to work under a lot of pressure and no backup available. But she got through all the challenges securing essential reporting and accounting of the company during that time.” 

• Enavate Experience – Ed Hazan, Account Manager Leader  

• • “Ed is a great team player and always showing the team how he is achieving results. Ed has brought in some really large deals to the team this year. He is exceptionally ethical and honest in his dealings with customers and his peers.”
