Bio
Jeri Larsen
We hired Reuben as an intern and then immediately sensed how great of an asset he was to the company—and hired him full time as quickly as we were able. He is able to balance strategic thinking and daily execution well; it's hard to think strategically when one is in the weeds as an intern, but he learns from each situation and is curious about everything. That kind of perceptiveness can't be taught. He also is just the nicest human. He's diplomatic and kind and genuinely wants to be helpful to the team and the organization as a whole. He's a value-add regardless of what seat he's in, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with him.

It only happens a few times in a manager's career that one has the honor to work with a highly skilled team member, with the ability to deliver quickly and efficiently under changing conditions and timelines - but that's Reuben! Reuben’s critical thinking skills paired with the continuous desire to create scalable processes for the Sales Team made him a very valuable asset to the entire company. Without a doubt - Reuben will be a valuable addition to any organization that is looking to build for scale!
