Ambition

Huge thanks to the team at Proofpoint for hosting us in Salt Lake this week!

Your focus on performance, culture, and coaching came through in every conversation. Excited to continue supporting your team and driving results together.

Happy Work Anniversary, Wes Kendall!

“One year ago, I had the chance to reconnect with Wes as he stepped into a new chapter with us. We talked about Ambition, growth, and the vision we hoped to build together. Since then, Wes has made a meaningful impact—bringing clarity, drive, and leadership to everything he touches. Grateful for the past year and looking forward to what’s ahead.” – Jared Houghton

Here’s to continued momentum!

Happy Work Anniversary, Marlee (Rothschild) Gillmor!

“Marlee joining Ambition has been nothing short of incredible. Not just for the revenue impact, but for the authentic personality she adds to the culture. She embodies the traits that make a teammate invaluable: gritty, smart, resilient, empathetic, and she brings a Buffalo swagger that can’t be replicated. When she’s not riding hard for the Bills, she’s delivering strategic account plans, crafting thoughtful outreach, covering inbound leads, and educating us all on the magic of Wegman’s Grocery. Ambition is lucky to have Marlee Gilmore, and I’ve been lucky to experience the absolute joy of working alongside her. She just earned a well-deserved promotion (of course she did!), and while she lives with sales now, she’ll always be an honorary marketer in my book.” - Mary Foster

We’re so lucky to have you, Marlee!

No more guessing. Just smarter strategy, better performance, and gamification that actually drives growth.

Happy Work Anniversary to Ben Ramos!🎉

"Integration services wouldn’t be what they are today, or even what they were a month in, without Ben. Today, he’s thriving as a Solutions Architect, supporting both the pre- and post-sales sides of the business. His attention to detail, thoroughness, and dedication to solving complex problems make him an essential part of the Solutions team and Ambition as a whole. Plus, he somehow manages to make all of us look a little cooler along the way. Thanks for everything you do, Ben!" - Ward Kennedy

Congratulations!

At Ambition, we believe great teams are built through more than just metrics, they’re built through experiences. 🍞 ✨
