✨Meet Gavin Nater, our Chief Operations Officer✨
📊What motivates you at work?
Definitely my team members. I really enjoy building cool things with people I love and it motivates me to see my teammates working towards a common goal. To me, a great team is the most important factor to a successful company. You can always teach a skill, but finding an effective team that has fun working together is extremely difficult and simply unteachable. Another bonus in having an impressive team is that I get to continuously learn from each and every person.
💡What’s one skill that you’ve improved in the last year? How did you do it?
I think the skill that has helped me the most in the last year is identifying opportunities through strong relationships. To put it simply, if you work with people you like, have fun with, and trust, the success should follow naturally. Every relationship does not have to be immediately fruitful and it will always pay off in the end if you help someone even with no immediate benefit for yourself. This is definitely something I've learned working with my coworkers over the last year, people and relationships should be the #1 priority.
🏅When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
This one probably changed every week, from the classics to some that are far out. President, Astronaut, Pro Soccer Player, rock climber, engineer, translator, chef, entrepreneur (check!), billionaire (give me a couple more years) and I think at one point I wanted to be a vampire. My sister actually convinced me that she was a vampire and I wanted to fit in....
