I’m pleased to confirm that in just over 1 week, Eliot Olson will be starting in his new role as the Director of Strategic Growth at GR (and Cruxx).

We’ll be setting up onboard meetings during the first few days and weeks of Eliot’s start date, so some of you will see meeting invites from Tina coming through soon.

If you recall, he used to work with Katie at SmartBug Media, where he has been since 2013. We are very excited to have him join the team, and look forward to everyone having an opportunity to meet and work with him when he’s here.

Below is a little more info from Eliot. Be sure to seek him out when you’re in the office from June 2^nd on.

From Eliot:

Outside of the office, I’m an avid cinephile (unfortunately what you have to call a guy with a Blu-Ray player and a meticulously maintained Letterboxd account) who enjoys running, music, traveling, and hunting down vintage Levi’s 501s on eBay. I have two wonderful kids who are still young enough to think I’m cool, which I assume is a temporary and fleeting feeling but a good one nonetheless. Finally, I’m a lifelong Mariners fan, which keeps me humble. (And sad. But mostly humble.)

I am beyond thrilled to join this team, roll my sleeves up, and get to work growing the company together. The fun starts June 2nd. See y’all then!
