Larry Kavanagh: As CEO and Visionary at NaviStone, Larry spends a lot of time working on the big stuff: big relationships, big ideas and solving big problems. Appropriately, he spends his web browsing time on big idea websites such as fivethirtyeight.com, washingtonpost.com and npr.com. He also finds some time for fun on mlb.com and “Bad Lip Reading” on youtube.com. How and when does a busy CEO find time for browsing at all? Early in the morning or late at night, always on his iPhone.
Efrain Torres: As NaviStone’s CFO, Efrain has some serious responsibilities to keep our financial house in order. Financial reporting, cash management, forecasting and employee benefits management are just some of the things that might keep him up at night. And since he is up, he can often be found browsing on his iPhone late at night, looking at sites like cnn.com, nytimes.com and npr.com. But Efrain also has a social side as well, as evidenced by time spent on nextdoor.com and facebook.com.
Lori Paikin: Lori serves as Chief Revenue Officer at NaviStone, and is the consummate road warrior. Responsible for business development, client services and marketing, her travel schedule can only be described as frenetic. Her browsing time is limited to evenings in numerous hotels on her laptop, and of course her “go to” website is tripadvisor.com. Lori can also be found on linkedin.com, recipes.com, atpworldtour.com and eonline.com, where she admittedly spends way too much time reading celebrity gossip.
Tom White: As NaviStone’s Chief Technology Officer, Tom is the software engineering guru behind the company’s suite of products. He also holds responsibility for our data infrastructure, as well as the development of the tools to support our sales, service and product teams. Tom is a devotee of music, science fiction and popular culture, and spends much late night time browsing websites on his mobile phone that the rest of us have never heard of: nerdist.com, brandonsanderson.com, news at reverb.com, theverge.com and exposm.net, among them.
Jude Hoffner: As VP of Product, Jude works across the organization to assure that we develop and deliver a quality product at a fair price to all our clients. Jude is a true Renaissance man, who can wax poetic about everything from French literature to his beloved Golden State Warriors, and these varied interests lead him to early morning browsing sessions at cbssports.com (for fantasy sports tips), theintercept.com, zooniverse.org, theatlantic.com and spotify.com. And as an Apple devotee, always, always on his iPad.
Traci Krall: As NaviStone’s Operations Manager, Traci is the glue that holds us all together. Once the sales process is complete, she is the first person that new clients meet, overseeing site tagging, quality control and the accurate and timely filling of orders. Traci also serves as spiritual leader and yoga and fitness consultant, encouraging us all to exercise, eat right, and generally take better care of ourselves. No surprise that her favorite website is crossfit.com. Traci also browses on her iPhone, both early in the morning and at night, visiting healthiq.com, pinterest.com, anthropologie.com and freepeople.com.
Chris Ludwig: Chris is a Software Engineer at NaviStone, and is responsible for our entire data infrastructure, including data ingestion, data storage and system security. He is an outstanding systems troubleshooter, as well as an outstanding musician. Chris sings and plays multiple instruments, and if you ask nicely, he will take out his phone and play some songs where he has laid down every vocal and instrumental track himself. Chris uses his laptop for early evening browsing, hitting sites such as amazon.com, microcenter.com, drudgereport.com, moddb.com and youtube.com.
Courtney Schack: As Vice-President of Client Services, Courtney works with our clients to assure that NaviStone is truly helping them to grow their business and build their customer base. As the mother of two young children, Courtney’s browsing time is limited to her mobile device, after 9:00 p.m. In addition to amazon.com, Courtney focuses her website visits on social sites like instagram.com, pinterest.com, nextdoor.com and facebook.com.
Angie Arnspiger: As Vice-President Business Development for the Eastern United States, Angie covers a lot of territory from her Colorado Rocky Mountain home. She is also NaviStone’s resident optimist, always positive and always congratulating teammates for a job well done. Angie is a late-night browser on her iPad mini, checking out sites like amazon.com, tmz.com, cnn.com, therealreal.com and Riviera-maya-news.com (have no idea either).
Mat Forster: Mat is a Senior Software Engineer at NaviStone, and is instrumental in both developing and implementing NaviStone’s products. Mat is known for an extraordinary level of precision in everything he does (and we are 97.38% certain of that). He is also a classically trained musician, one of several musically accomplished Engineering teammates. Mat’s “go to” websites, which he browses on his tablet, are cnn.com, npr.com, huffingtonpost.com, amazon.com, along with a variety of review sites.
Seth, NaviStone’s Onboarding Manager, spends his business day working with new clients to set them up for a successful launch of their NaviStone programs. In his free time, Seth enjoys reading (old school, tangible books and magazines), playing basketball and golf, and just hanging out with family and friends. Seth does most of his browsing (all legal, he claims) in the evenings on his iPhone or MacBook, checking in at sites like youtube.com, techcrunch.com, barstoolsports.com, reddit.com andamazon.com.
In his role as a Software Engineer at NaviStone, Tyler focuses on infrastructure, internal tool development and data processing. Ever-dedicated to his practice, when he’s not working on software development he can be found reading about software development or watching movies. At night Tyler browses sites such as reddit.com, youtube.com, amazon.com and netfilx.com.
When Tova is not working, she spends a lot of time with her husband, daughter and dog. She can often be seen out at a music festival or concert, and loves to travel and hit the farmers market, parks, zoo and anything art related. When everyone in the house is sleeping she can be found in the early morning or late at night scouring any music related site, Facebook, Instagram, Weather.com and Amazon.
As a Client Partner for Navistone, Lisa spends most of her time making sure we are delivering what we promise to our clients and meeting or exceeding their program goals. In her free time, Lisa loves socializing and entertaining her family and friends so she frequents sites like Facebook.com, Instagram.com and foodnetwork.com. She does most of her browsing and shopping on Amazon.com late at night from her mobile phone when her husband and son are asleep.
When he's not optimizing and increasing the efficiency of our finance department, John spends his time making wine, drinking wine and eating great food. When he's not doing that, he's typically exercising or reading. In the late evening, on his iPad, John can be found browsing sites such as bleacherreport.com. instagram.com, espn.com, and www.apple.com/apple-news.
