#MyGreenwinLife is a series that highlights individual members of the Greenwin team by exploring their unique journeys, which have led them to become valued members of our company. Through the inspiring stories, memories and experiences of our people, we celebrate the connection and sense of community that is the backbone of our organization.
Today we would like to share the story of Phong Ngo, Director, Research:
I started with Greenwin in early 2021. It was during the pandemic, which meant remote onboarding and working from home, both of which were new to me. I wasn’t sure how the experience would go not being to connect with my new colleagues in person. I’m a social guy and enjoy in-person interactions. Immediately, people started reaching out, welcoming me to the team and sharing their stories. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and genuine. Despite working remotely, I have still very much experienced the strong company culture at Greenwin. That culture is one of inclusivity, recognition, comradery, and caring beyond just work.
It's special to be a part of a company where there are no egos; where you can agree to disagree and still respect one another; where everyone understands the end goal and we work collaboratively to achieve it; where you can call on anyone (no matter their title) to chat, brainstorm or bounce ideas off; where you can have a laugh and toast a drink, and where you are supported.
In the time that I’ve been with Greenwin, there has been significant progress on almost every development file, and the research team, which I am proud to lead, has played an important role in that. Whether it be through our market studies, custom research or sharing relevant market updates, the research team is looked upon to provide opinion, recommendations, and help drive evidence-based decisions. It is great to know that we’re contributing real value to the rest of the team and the company. The trust that is placed in me and my team is the best compliment. Knowing that we’ve been able to add value and positively impact decisions makes me very proud.
I have the privilege to work every day with tremendously talented individuals and experts in every discipline at Greenwin. I’m always so impressed by how skilled and knowledgeable everyone is and I try to take every opportunity to listen and learn from those around me. Of course, all great companies are led by great leaders and Greenwin’s leadership team is amazing. The magic happens when all sides come together with a common vision and purpose to achieve a goal. The result is a beautiful thing.
