Happy Boss's Day To The Blue Compass Leadership Team

Every day is an adventure at Blue Compass - an adventure that usually involves inner office jokes, lighthearted scares, heckling each other and laughing WITH one another. Our leadership team is no exception! They set positive examples for our team, are good sports when oftentimes they're the butt of our jokes and they also dish out sarcasm (and compliments) regularly.

Today though, we are setting aside our jokes (at least for the moment) and steering our adventure in a more sentimental direction. In honor of 2024 Boss’s Day, we wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you to Blue Compass’ five fearless leaders who give so much to us everyday!

Drew Harden | President & CEO

"I admire Drew's thoughtfulness and positivity, but what truly sets him apart as a leader is his ability to trust others. He understands that being a CEO isn’t about making every decision, but about empowering his team with support and validation to succeed. Drew earns our respect—he never demands it."
- Grace Chrisman | Digital Marketing Specialist

"Drew is a guy who genuinely cares about his employees and it is a delight to work for a company with such a well curated culture. From the lack of a door on his office, to the coffee meetings with employees, I have enjoyed the benefits of a boss who listens and shares sound advice."
- Dexter Jacobs | Front-End Developer & Design Specialist

"I appreciate much about how Drew leads Blue Compass. I think my favorite thing that he does is come out of his office and talk to people directly about questions he has, verbally recognizes achievements or accomplishments and doesn’t just send a message or email. It's the extra step (quite literally) that makes all the difference in how we all know he sees and appreciates what is happening in the office."
- Shaly Moyal | Business Development Strategist

"Drew’s leadership is all about heart and vision. He’s always looking for ways to lift us up and challenge us to do more. His creativity is what sets the tone for our team and keeps us inspired to keep moving forward."
- Austin Johnson | Project Manager

Cary Coppola | CFO

"Cary is so much fun to work with. He's a goofball and can always lighten any situation but he's also just as much a team player and incredibly supportive. He'll jump into any fire for you and never think twice."
- Stephanie Wubben | Director of Business Development

"My favorite thing about Cary is how he always finds a way to support the team. Whether it's being someone to bounce ideas off of, attending a last-minute meeting, or having fun around the office, he's there for us."
- Jordan Beard-Hopkey | Senior Account Executive

"Cary is a great leader as he meets us where we are at. He understands the work/life balance and values that for all of us!"
- Jon Doty | Account Executive

"Cary elevates leadership to the next level, genuinely caring for the team on both a personal and professional level. He’s always ready to stand up for us and has unwavering faith in our abilities, even when we doubt ourselves. Cary is not only a great listener but also an exceptional problem solver, always offering thoughtful solutions. His positivity, vision, business acumen, and inspiring leadership set him apart and motivate us to strive for excellence every day."
- Katrina Reger | Director of Digital Marketing

Jeff Schumann | VP Of Development & Technology

"Jeff provides an incredible mixture of wisdom, foresight, humor and expertise to everything he does. I've worked with him for 20 years and continue to be impressed with his intelligent solutions."
- Drew Harden | President & CEO

"Jeff is an exceptional leader because of his ability to think outside the box and approach problems with innovative solutions. His intelligence and strategic thinking continue to push Blue Compass to the next level, and he’s always one step ahead when it comes to solving complex challenges."
- Laura Jackovin | COO

"I love working with Jeff! I've learned a lot from him over the years about how to tackle difficult projects. Jeff is really good at not getting too caught up in all the little details of a project and instead focusing on the process of determining clear, concise steps it takes to solve a problem."
- Ben Odam | Frontend Development Manager

"Jeff leads us by example. He continues to find solutions that benefit both our team and our clients."
- Brooke Eyerly | Senior Backend Developer

Laura Jackovin | COO

"Laura brings the fun to everything she does. Her willingness to put the team above everything else takes away the added stress that occurs in many companies because Blue Compass has their employees' backs. She is a pleasure to work with and continues to help Blue Compass improve each day."
- Jeff Schumann | VP of Development & Technology

"Laura is always available for questions, solving problems with ease, and is so flexible when it comes to the team's needs. She takes an interest in our lives and helps whenever possible, making her not only a fantastic boss but also a joy to work with."
- Michelle Torrey | Client Support & QA Manager

"I appreciate your insight and advice, your willingness to go to bat for the team, and the fact that you allow me to use our touchbases as free therapy sessions. You go above and beyond to make people feel welcome and seen and our culture wouldn't be the same without you."
- Holly Simmer | Account Executive

"LJ is a shining example of a servant leader. She is always there to give guidance, a helping hand, and support while juggling more tasks and projects we could imagine. She cares deeply about every employee on a personal and professional level, and we couldn't be luckier for the opportunity to work with her!"
- Charles Newell | Office Coordinator

Katrina Reger | Director Of Digital Marketing

"Katrina strikes the perfect balance of providing support when you need it and challenging you so you can grow. She is not only invested in the professional growth for each of her team members, but also genuinely cares about us as people first. I've never had a better boss."
- Kaylee DeLacy | Digital Marketing Strategist

"Katrina is a great boss/leader because she is always ready to drop what she'd doing to help with anything from a simple DM question to a crazy crosstown beer run! She is also great at her job because she is not afraid to admit she doesn't know the answer to something and is ready to help find the solution or the right people to help find it!"
- Charles Duve | Frontend Project Infrastructure Specialist

"Katrina is a leader who truly cares about each member of our team. She’s always there to lend a helping hand or offer support when someone needs it most. Her passion for our growth at Blue Compass is inspiring, and she brings so much positivity to our office. Thank you, Katrina, for making every day at work fun and for being such an amazing leader!"
- Dani Ingersoll | Digital Marketing Strategist

"Katrina Reger is an extraordinary leader who embodies the essence of servant leadership, always putting her team first and empowering them to grow and succeed. She leads with selflessness, standing up for her team when it matters most and holding herself accountable to both clients and colleagues. Katrina’s dedication and tireless work ethic inspire those around her, and she is unwavering in her commitment to helping her team become the best versions of themselves."
- Cary Coppola | CFO
