Alexandra 'Alex' Garbatini joined SquadLocker in the early stages of our growth, back in May 2016. Alex was recently promoted to Sr. Product Marketing Specialist from her previous role as Channel Support Coordinator where she did just that - supported every channel for SquadLocker's internal and external needs; from social media to partnerships. A native of Connecticut and University of Rhode Island alum, Alex exudes the characteristics instilled at SquadLocker.
What three traits define you?
ALEX: Caring, Determined, and Independent.
Why did you join SquadLocker?
ALEX: I joined because I enjoyed the collaboration among different departments. The biggest reason for joining was that SquadLocker offered me a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone.
What is your proudest moment at SquadLocker?
ALEX: I would definitely say my proudest moment at SquadLocker is when I identified an area of the business that was lacking any initiatives, then presented a solution to key stakeholders. That area of the business is now my current job, Builder Engagement.
