Ross Shwarts
Manager, Professional Services
CONNECTING ACROSS TEAMS
Sharing our personal and professional selves
Understanding the importance of connections, Ross Shwarts sets up weekly one-to-ones with his direct reports. “Sometimes we talk about work; sometimes we talk about ridiculous things our kids do. This time together helps me understand what is important to them personally and professionally.” To ensure his team members feel valued and heard, they regularly spend time as a group to work through problems. And when an occasional project requires long hours to complete, it doesn’t go unnoticed. “My boss will help me close out the project, then tell me to take some time to go do something fun.”

SailPoint has always enabled me to work flexible hours during weeks when I need to watch my kids or deal with things like a snowpocalypse.
