REQUEST COLLETTE TO SPEAK

Greg Washington - VP of Global Relationships

Greg Washington, the power connector whose core values include tenacity and commitment to excellence loves the challenge of helping entrepreneurs thrive. These core values that guide my career, not just in his current role as VP of Global Relationships, but dating back 30 years when he entered the United States Army and escalated to be a Platoon Sergeant. Since then, he's worn different hats to ensure the accomplishment of business targets while providing excellent results.

Being a customer-oriented professional, his goal with every client interaction is to provide a positive experience with exceptional results. Building strong relationships, solving complex problems, and exceeding expectations, are at the heart of his work.

Washington is key to expanding and growing sales, winning new customers as well as maintaining key clients, offering a high level of customer satisfaction. He is an asset to the REDTeam, it's clients, and the business community.

BRITTNEY MCKINNEY - EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

She's the spark and the glue of the REDTeam. Brittney McKinney's core value is most certainly fun! We probably should add to her title Chief Fun Officer. Her ability to keep all of the moving parts of RED moving helps the REDTeam maintain our cohesion, stay connected to our clients, and offer our collaborative partners the value of being a REDChampion.

Brittney's background in education, customer service and relationship management is evident in the way she anticipates the needs of our team and clients. Her rock star ability to process information and adapt is certainly an asset to our team.

Brittney's a Prairie View University alumni who loves teaching and supporting others. She is new to the entrepreneurial world but has found her passion for supporting business owners and educating business owners is complimented by her background in education and customer service. Brittney's bubbly personality and dedication to service helps RED support our clients on their journey.

Jacob Gerling - Global Programs Manager

Jacob Gerling is our ace in the hole. His feedback is invaluable and always just what we need. His ability to think on his toes, see the vision, support the vision and keep projects and people moving forward is his strength. His recent promotion to Global Programs Manager is a direct result of his work ethic and dedication to our mission to help small businesses thrive.

Jacob joined our team as an intern working on projects from marketing to consumer relations but we very quickly recognized that his ability to problem solve and manage projects was an asset.

Jacob recently graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising (Summa Cum Laude), he brings a fresh perspective to the REDTeam. He's a lifetime learner focused on continuing his education outside of the classroom through his growing network as well as personal self-development.

With the rest of his career ahead of him, Gerling is determined to continue growing. Whether he's managing client relationships or supporting communities through government contracts, Jacob is excited to be part of the REDTeam as it continues to grow.
