More than a piece of new business, it is validation.

I’m delighted to receive word this morning that we prevailed in our first new business pitch since I joined gyro, San Francisco.  I cannot name the client but like most of our partners they are a technology concern. Or as I like to say, they make cool shit that changes the world.

A win is always good news for everyone involved but for me this is especially satisfying. It validates what I have known from the moment I stepped foot in gyro: that this place is special and that I made a wise and wonderful decision by joining it.

Visiting with my father and brothers in Los Angeles, I tried to explain how blessed and happy I am with my new job. They know what a major deal it was –is- for me to move my entire family across the country, on just possibilities.

But here is validation.

It being Friday let’s savor the aroma for a few 24 hours. Thank you and congratulations, work family. I am so proud. And to my real family I say go ahead and exhale. This is all going to work out fine!
