Bekki Freeman is a Staff Software Engineer at Caribou Financial, Inc.. She possess expertise in software engineering, ios development, software development, agile methodologies, java and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I worked with Bekki for just over a year, a little over half of that on building out a new team with a new focus. After this time, I can confidently say Bekki is one of the best, if not the best, technical people leaders with which I've had the opportunity to work. Bekki's leadership is driven by empathy for those around her and is one of the few I've seen to build a high-trust, effective communication environment. Bekki and I worked to develop the team culture, onboard new members, and grow the team to effectively building a new product with which they felt a high degree of ownership. She is able to navigate tough conversations, provide direct and honest feedback with care, keep folks accountable to their commitments and the team, dig into technical decisions to validate and enforce them, and identify paths forward in both technical and social situations. Her skills extend beyond just those of an individual team as she also proved her ability to lead within the larger organization. Personally and professionally, I look forward to a future opportunity to work with Bekki again." and "I have known Bekki for many years and she has impressed me for her dedication to the many things she does, initiative and strong work ethics. In addition, being a woman that defied common wisdom (quite wrong) that engineering is not for women. She has excelled in that field and is now in charge of the company she has co-founded."
