A Summer of Hits: Cadre of Data, Finance, & ROB Experts Join

We forge ahead, as always! Despite the uncertainties of 2020, our team is moving forward with confidence and an ever-expanding team of pros. With the recent news of our “fastest growing” awards from the Puget Sound Business Journal and Inc. 5000, it’s an exciting time to onboard. Our clients are appreciative of our team’s continued dedication given the new virtual landscape, and we commend all of our employees on a job well done this year. ​

During the last few weeks, we’ve welcomed eight new faces and are already impressed with the expertise and diverse background they bring with them in areas like finance, rhythm-of-business, and data analysis. As you meet them, you’ll notice their dedication to giving back, too, a fundamental piece of all that we do at RedCloud.
