Announcing the winner of Glider’s first ‘Shine a Light’ award!
We pride ourselves on fostering a culture of collaboration and recognition, even in our remote-first work environment. In September we launched the Shine a Light initiative to shine a spotlight on the incredible individuals who go above and beyond for their teams, their colleagues and the business.
Shining the spotlight on our product & development teams
For the first round, we turned the spotlight on our product and development teams. After eight weeks of voting, we’re thrilled to announce that Ziggy Raugas, Principal Software Engineer, has been chosen as the winner!
Why Ziggy stood out
Ziggy joined Glider in 2020 and has been an integral part of the development team. Here’s what some of his colleagues had to say about him:
- “Ziggy is always ready to lend a hand, never shying away from any task, no matter how big or small. It’s a fantastic quality to have.”
- “He [Ziggy] knows almost everything, is always available to help and completes tasks quickly.”
- “Ziggy has shown remarkable drive and commitment to the development department during a period of significant change. He supports the business, his colleagues and management with a range of tasks, and nothing is ever too much trouble. He leads by example, and it’s a pleasure to have him as part of the Glider team.”
A bit about Ziggy
During the voting period we ask team members to share some information about themselves to help others get to know them better. Ziggy is a problem-solver with a passion for collaboration and innovation and is known for his technical expertise and willingness to help others. He thrives on tackling challenges, such as mastering new technologies for new feature releases. Outside of work, he enjoys snowboarding, cycling and snooker (despite losing to his 13-year-old brother!) and has a quirky obsession with capybaras. His dedication and positive attitude makes him a standout member of the Glider team.
Well done, Ziggy!
Ziggy’s dedication, expertise and positive attitude make him an invaluable member of the Glider team. Congratulations, Ziggy, on being our first Shine a Light winner!
Next up
The Shine a Light award will next focus on our sales and marketing team. We look forward to announcing the winner in a couple of months.
