Bio
Camille Emefa Acey
Lydia is a thoughtful and diligent CSM who has really found her stride in driving our nascent tech touch efforts. I can't overstate how appreciative I am that Lydia WRITES STUFF DOWN. As one of the employees with the longest tenure here, so much information could just live in her head, but Lydia has had the foresight to document in the spirit of posterity and it has been so critically important as our organization grows. I am proud to be part of this chapter of what is sure to be an impressive career!
