We sat down with J.P. to learn more about what he enjoys most about working at Centrality.
What led to your current role at Centrality?
I have been fortunate to have a successful career in the financial industry. Over the past several years as a Business Broker, I have been utilizing my management and sales expertise to help business owners evaluate, build, and sell their small to midsize businesses. I have a track record of increasing sales, reducing costs, and streamlining operations in a wide variety of ways — one being cutting unnecessary cost on a P&L statement to maximize profitability and enhance the fair market value for the businesses that I represented.
As a Business Development Specialist with Centrality, many of these same objectives fit as I work with and evaluate my clients’ technology needs. Whether CompleteCloud, managed services, or business phone solutions, I provide recommendations and implement solutions to increase their business production and efficiency.
What do you like most about working at Centrality?
What I like most about working for Centrality is the positive work environment. Everyone is very supportive and has the common goal to strive for both individual and company-wide success. I also really like how Centrality customizes individual offerings depending on the needs of the business instead of putting them in a “one-size fits all” type of service model. Every business is different and the importance of one offering may not be the same to another business – Centrality has flexible plans to meet all business’ needs, and I believe that this is a huge differentiation in the IT industry.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Art is one of my passions, and many people may not know that I am a sketch artist. I would consider myself a people-person, I enjoy social events and meeting new people – which also happens to be an area of my job that I enjoy most. Family and friends are very important to me, and I always love spending time with them whether at sporting events, watching live music, or traveling. I am also getting married this June, my fiancée and I are looking forward to spending the day with our new family and friends.
