“It’s amazing to join THRIVE alongside two inspiring female leaders and it’s so refreshing to see such a progressive attitude towards women in leadership AND women in tech! It was a big part of what attracted me to THRIVE. I’m so excited for my next adventure and to be a part of taking client and partner success on the content side of the business to the next level.”
Following their announcement earlier in the year which shared details of extended customer support hours, THRIVE are delighted to welcome Laura Naylor as Head of Support to scale their international customer support team and deliver world class technical support to THRIVE’s 120+ clients.
