Every year, the Opus team takes a day to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished in the last year. We call this all-day agency offsite Team Connect. During the celebration, we present awards to employees that have embodied TeamCS in the last year. Check out these rock star Maestros and what their peers have to say about them.

People

The People awards honor those who have made personal contributions to our team. These winners are mentors, team players and wonderful friends to their coworkers.

Kellie Jewett – Director, Customer Success

“This woman  is AMAZING. She manages our biggest team and runs our largest event with grace and professionalism. She is trusted adviser with our clients and never breaks a sweat!”

Natalie Blakney – Director, Global Accounts

“If you get the opportunity to work with Natalie, you immediately will appreciate not only her great work ethic, but how she does it—she cares about her clients and her colleagues. She is incredibly skillful at navigating the waters to ensure TeamCS is in place, all the time.”

“Rob is someone I look up to in many ways. I admire his patience and his calm demeanor. You can tell he is dedicated to this company and our team because he spends time with each of us and creates plans on how to achieve our goals and become successful.”

Values

The Values awards are given to Maestros who embody Opus’ strong values that lead to customer success.
