Jon Tewes:Absolutely, I was incredibly surprised. It's amazing what we are as a group -- in our PSI team. One of the most amazing group of individuals I've worked with, and hearing what they were saying about what I do was extremely moving. Yet, just as quickly the same phrases could be reversed to be directed at each and every one of them. We really have each other's backs. Anything that one individual of us does takes credit with the collective effort whether it's good or not. If something doesn't go as planned and something goes wrong, we'll all jump in together in order to correct the situation. Therefore, I wouldn't be able to have accomplished it without those guys. They mean a lot to me, and, I mean more than the award, certainly. But the award definitely felt great to get.

Making a difference, understanding that you must be adamant about what you're doing are our basic principles which guide how I work each every day. You know, we're working directly with sellers that are being onboarded. It's about empathizing with them and working with them to really understand what their problem is and then figure out the answer quickly and offer them the very best service to sell is the way that I live my day-to-day life. And it's great that we have a company that really matches the way in which I already do it and I don't be required to do anything.

We also have a platform. offer, as a market of merchants of record, we are leaders, and I get to work alongside those incredible people to really mold our future . It's the reason I'm here.
