What I enjoy most about working at GW&K is...
Trust, respect and teamwork is rooted in GW&K’s culture. I love that in my role I have the opportunity to regularly connect and engage with clients, business partners, and colleagues of the firm. In doing so, I am able to better understand the needs of our clients, while simultaneously maintaining a pulse on our business alongside the ever changing global regulatory environment. I thrive on being a part of a highly collaborative and entrepreneurial driven organization where all colleagues have a seat at the table and can contribute meaningfully to our clients and business.
