About Austin Crane

After living in Texas for more than ten years, I think I've earned the privilege to greet you with "Howdy, y'all!"Are you looking for someone who brings over 15 years of people first leadership and sales experience in an everchanging environment? Are you looking for someone who has experience in supporting projects and product ownership? Do you need someone that can establish processes while working in ambiguity? Do you need a team player that was voted to be the most "Nice and Helpful" by 48 colleagues? Well... I need you to envision me pointing at myself with both thumbs when I tell you "I'm who you want on your team!"I've spent most of my career leading and developing people to meet exceptionally aggressive sales goals. I've been successful by fostering an environment of transparency to build speed to trust. I believe DE&I shouldn't be a recruitment and retention method. DE&I is celebration of what makes us different and how those differences can bring us together. I allow others a comfortable space to express themselves and we use that to grow a team that cares for each other. My leadership philosophy is that I can meet all of my commitments to an organization by being fully committed to developing the people I work with. I find personal development to be equally important as professional. I have worked with others to develop soft skills, start a streaming community on twitch, and helped turned music making skills into a multi-media company.I'm someone who is always seeking additional challenges and opportunities. I'll always accept or create my own stretch assignments. These efforts led to a recent position as a Systems Experience Analyst. Before a wave of layoffs, eliminating the position, I supported others in project management and product support. I'd like to continue utilizing that skillset to help your organization.When I'm not at work, I'm spending time with my family, 2 dogs, and 7 chickens. You'll probably find me taking a stroll around the neighborhood (or Costco's air conditioning), working in my garden, or cleaning out the chicken coop. I love to explore our beautiful State Parks, check out new restaurants, and travel the world!If you're ready, I'm ready! Let's get to work!
