WHAT IS YOUR MISSION, AND HOW
HAS IT SHIFTED WITH COVID-19?
Our company's goal is to cultivate long-
term customers by delivering life-changing,
innovative solutions. Our approach values
customer satisfaction through our expert
and dedicated personnel. We were very
fortunate due to the majority of our 350-
plus employees being remote workers. We
are strategically positioned to service our
customers and provide additional service
support to customers that others were not
prepared to handle.
WHAT IS A CHALLENGING ASPECT
OF BEING A WOMAN IN BUSINESS?
Technology companies of the past were
mostly male driven. Integrating into and
running a company as a female in a male-
dominated field has been challenging.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT:
Progressive Group has received €e Global
Vendor of the Year Award from a Fortune
500 Global Healthcare & Technology
Company in 2018 and 2020.
LOOKING BACK, I WISH I HAD
REALIZED: €at "NO" actually means
"Next Opportunity."
HOW CAN WOMEN BET TER
SUPPORT EACH OTHER?
Join local female entrepreneurial
communities and offer support to those
beginning their business journey.
