That commitment to professional growth is met with a fervor for personal balance – as she is like many modern families with two ambitious partners. I have a life partner who has chosen to be of service to this country, so when I dream big, I have to make space for my deployed husband or personal health. A lot of the time that starts in the workplace.
As Shayna Atkins aptly puts it, “We scale as slow as we must, ensuring that every step we take is rooted in authenticity, positivity, and impact.” With a focus on continuous improvement, scalable systems, and a culture of innovation, AtkCo is poised to be a guiding light for businesses seeking transformative change in the digital age.
