Closing Out 2023 with Gratitude for the Opportunity to Lead
As I look back on the year, UG2 experienced growth and achievements along with many challenges and uncertainties, but I am struck by what a privilege it is to lead this company and team.
I am blessed with an enormous extended family of employees and customers, and I take tremendous pleasure in seeing how our core values and unified mission have made UG2 a fulfilling place to grow and build a career for so many.
But it goes further than that. I am deeply appreciative of the fact that you — UG2’s loyal customers and committed employees — have granted me the gift of purpose.
When I set out to build this company, I spent years developing the knowledge and relationships I knew it would take to truly excel, driven by an unwavering determination to make my vision a reality. I realize now how blessed I was to have found my purpose, and I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to each of you for allowing me to fulfill it.
The research and discussion about the importance of purpose in our lives truly resonates with me. It confirms that finding purpose in the work you do for your friends, family, team, or community is linked to personal health and happiness and professional success. That has certainly been my experience, year after year.
As we celebrated our 11-year anniversary on December 12, I could not be more proud or more joyful. There is no place I’d rather be in this moment than with all of you.
To our customers: You entrust us with the care of your facilities — the very foundation of your organization, and that brings us meaning and a deep sense of trust and connection.
To our employees: You lend us the gift of your time and talents, you treat our customers’ spaces as you would your own, and you support each other with an abiding sense of compassion and camaraderie.
I hope that in fulfilling my dream of a company that prioritizes people, relationships, and personal and professional growth, I am sharing some of that joy with you.
In this holiday season and the new year, I wish you and your loved ones tenfold the happiness our relationship has brought me.
