As a former Strategy Director supporting clients like the U.S. Air Force Academy, Schwab/TD Ameritrade, and General Mills, she brings her broad experience of brand transformation, research, and leadership to the restoration and reconstruction industry. In this newly developed role, Ms. Vandehey will bring accountability, tangibility, and measurability to First Onsite’s brand purpose, promise and vision, assessing where opportunities exist to better serve team members, clients, and the community, and working across teams to ensure that each touchpoint people have with the brand ladders up to an exceptional experience.
“We’re putting the words on our walls to work, and making sure we have the people, processes and tools in place to operationalize our purpose and vision as we continue to grow,” she shares.
