In today’s employee spotlight, we hear from Nette, Enterprise Customer Success Manager! 🌟 What do you do in your role at KnowBe4? 🧡 As an Enterprise Customer Success Manager, I collaborate with our customers by helping them foster a security culture throughout their organization. Once a security culture has been woven into their organization, their employees begin to make smarter security decisions at home and share them with their families. 🌟 How has your career progressed at KnowBe4 since utilizing resources for your professional development? 🧡 I started utilizing Career Dave, KnowBe4’s Director of Career Development, in 2018 when I started at KnowBe4. Since working with Dave, I have had three new job titles! Dave has challenged my way of thinking, my processes, and my approaches to excelling in current roles and goal setting for my future career. At times, it has been challenging to step outside of my comfort zone, but Dave has always been there for advisement along the way, and every step taken has been rewarding.
