Career Group’s Post

Appreciation Post of Gratitude First, I'm excited to share that a month ago I joined team Chewy as Manager, Executive Administration, supporting an amazing leader and CEO, Sumit Singh, and our talented Chief of Staff Glenn Ramsdell! I am humbled and grateful to be part of such an amazing organization with a phenomenal team. #Runwiththepack Second, I want to express a huge amount of gratitude and shout-out to my personal team, which has supported me on my journey. My family, Michael Plew, Dylan Plew, Rob Burke, and the numerous others not on Linked-In, to all my friends, BOD, ELTs, SLTs, and Partners who always have my back, and to my previous CEOs who have influenced, supported, mentored, and believed in me and prepared me for the challenge. In alphabetical order because they are equally responsible 💙 Michael Akrop (Former CEO, Leesa), Dr. Eugene Bonelli (Former President, Dallas Symphony), Daniel R. Morris (Former CEO, Require) John Replogle (Former Chairman, President and CEO, Leesa) Shelley Specchio (President and CEO, MIBOR) David Wolfe (Former CEO Leesa and partner in all things BJG!) and last but never least Richard (Nik) Nikolaev (My First CEO that gave me a chance, Former CEO Wright Medical) and will always be missed. I’m grateful to each one of you for your mentorship, kindness, generosity, and enduring love for me, your teams, your missions, and your families. I will always carry in my backpack the lessons of success, loss, resilience, purpose, and execution. We conquered many mountains along the way, and all of this adds up to experience and falling forward. Finally, Thank you, Paige Shanahan, for navigating the process with and for me with such grace and execution at Chewy. Thank you, Anabel Junger, for being with me on this road since the beginning. Thank you, Sharry Bain, MS, and all Chewy EAs, for partnering with me and making me feel welcomed and part of the Chewy Family from Day 1 ( I already love and feel part of my pack). To my alma mater, Gonzaga University and Gonzaga University School of Leadership Studies, who helped me unpack the past to create the future I had envisioned as a Change Management and Servant Leader. You're all in my heart every day, and I cheer each of you on in your passions and dreams!
