For this week’s #EmployeeSpotlight from KGPCo, we spoke with Kristina Smith, Contract Pricing Supervisor. Kristina has been with the company for a little over 10 years and loves that no two days are the same. “Every day is different with a new obstacle or challenge to tackle. I enjoy using my critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve problems.” A typical day for Kristina involves overseeing a small team that manages one of the company’s largest accounts, from a pricing perspective. Her team is responsible for item setup and management, vendor quote management, managing pricing within the agreed contract between the company and the customer and ensuring we are meeting targeted margins. When we asked Kristina about her career path that lead her to where she is now, she answered, “I have a double bachelor's degree in business administration and in management. I have been in many administrative positions as well as self-employed owning a retail liquidation and online resell business.” Outside of work, Kristina enjoys spending time at the lake with friends and family. She enjoys watching the WNBA – especially Caitlin Clark, (the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history from the University of Iowa) and her teammate Lexi Hull, who play for the Indiana Fever. “I enjoy helping others and find it easier to help other people rather than myself. I enjoy music and concerts and would certainly love to be able to go to move.” When we asked Kristina if there is something she has learned to love as she’s gotten older, she replied, “I have learned to love mornings as I have gotten older. I enjoy the peacefulness and my energy in the mornings and usually feel very accomplished. I have learned to sit outside and just to enjoy sitting outside.” Thank you, Kristina! #Telecommunications #EmployeeSpotlight #TheNetworkNeverSleeps #WeAreKGPCo #KGPCo #CompanyCulture #EmployeeRecognition #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeAppreciation #Telecom #WorkplaceWellness #CareerGoals #PersonalInterests #DataCenter #Internet #WiFi
