Over the past few years, I’ve witnessed firsthand how our team’s commitment to creative solutions and best-in-class customer service has positioned us as industry leaders. This new role allows me to further that growth on an international scale, and I’m excited to help Geiger strengthen our relationships with some of the world’s largest companies while driving success for our clients worldwide."
