We've made the mistake of not valuing HR from day 1 and Denise took the challenge of walking into a little chaotic situation at Ortus. She helped us put together internal processes, ideate recruitment strategies, and put together the HR team we have today. By maintaining confidentiality among any team member that would approach her regardless of seniority, she has developed trust with the entire company and I deeply admire her professionality. We are lucky to have you Denise, thank you for all your patience!
