About Justin

Prior to Vanguard, I worked in various restaurants. I took a leap in to a drastically different industry in order to work for a company that challenged and developed me, while also enhancing my quality of life.

I possess a strong interest in advancing Vanguard’s mission through Diversity & Inclusion; I believe it to be our key strategic differential and one that is personal for me.

Personal Points of Interest

• I have traveled to 32 Countries and 6 continents. Trying for 40 by 40 yrs.
• I am a dog lover (especially my pup Spartacus).
• I was in a high speed taxi chase around Istanbul for over an hour trying to recover my husband’s phone, which he accidentally left in another taxi.

Next Step: Chief of Staff

Why:

• I aspire to rapidly advance my thought leadership and strategic mindset with exposure to senior leadership’s experiences and perspectives.
• The Chief of Staff role will afford me the opportunity to tie my passion and experiences on the front-line to my years of working externally, both of which have crafted my diversity of thought and strategic mindset. This blend of skills will help push our critical Vanguard mission forward.
• I believe in the RMS mission and Vanguard’s brand. I would love to work in a position that I can dramatically impact how we continue to evolve and adapt our business. In the Chief of Staff role, I will get to be part of that evolution by being at the table where those decisions are made.

Why Justin

Skills I want to Develop:

• Strategic Thinking— I have a desire to be exposed to and learn from senior leaders to further enhance this skill.
• Enterprise Acumen— I look to expand my perspective of Vanguard and RMS’s systems, structure, and processes beyond CSG.
• Thought Leadership— I aspire to level up my thought leadership from a senior leader lens.

Skills I Bring:

• Ability to Be Candid— I am not afraid to take a different view and advocate for it, including managing up.
• Strong ability to Cultivate Difference— I help to foster trust and dialect in an empathetic way.
• Application of a Founder’s Mentality— I demonstrate an ability to meet deadlines and manage competing priorities with minimal oversight.
• Frontline Perspective— I have both a crew and leader view of RMS. I am well connected throughout the department and have historical context from our previous Flagship state.
