I'm also looking forward to offering clients and prospects the Company's Zer0 Friction approach to technology and business. TAG's agile technology and simplified work processes make the user's experience simple and positive, which aligns perfectly with my values. I'm happy to join the team that is bringing a Zer0 Friction approach to broadcast environments on a global scale.
