I centred my role around empowering and enabling people to do their best work, in the best possible environment I could help create. Never a dull moment, our leaders inspired their teams to provide genuine solutions for retailers experiencing POS stress. What I loved about Vend is that it provided a ridiculous amount of opportunity to stretch your limits, go beyond what you think your capacity is - and do great work. This was a culture that genuinely aimed to do the right thing for their customers, and offered an experience to people that enriched their lives and shaped their future careers. Show less
