I partnered with various Project Managers on various projects the first few years with BCD. In 2009 I moved to the Strategic Marketing Department and in 2010 began work with our Product Planning Team on our mobile initiative for TripSource mobile app. I loved being a part of this dynamic, high-functioning mobile team, working with our vendor in an Agile environment to make TripSource a success for BCD and the travel app of choice for our Travelers.
