Guidepoint: What is the best part of working on the Client Service Team?
Aryan: I think the best part about working in the Client Service Team would be the connection that I have with all my colleagues. I look at them as friends who are slowly turning into family. On the work front, I love the erratic nature on the job – there isn’t a single day that is the same as another. The client service team is inclusive of hardworking, experienced and likeminded people which enables us to work extremely well as a team and maximize our performance.
Guidepoint: What do you find most interesting about working in the expert network industry?
Aryan: Working in this industry helps you keep up to date with what’s important in the world (especially from a business standpoint). This encourages me to learn about matters foreign to me on a regular basis. I love the variety of industries that we work with.
Guidepoint: What has been one of your biggest accomplishments so far in your career?

It has helped me with personal growth, helping me realize I had a lot of untapped potential. More objectively, I try to do the best I can with all my work and I see the results to my work everyday!
Guidepoint: Have you ever seen something you’ve worked on reflected in the news? What was it?
Aryan: We work on projects from multiple industries at a time. I remember having working on projects in chemicals, battery and finance that led to major investments in these industries, more specifically on the sub-sectors that we had been working on.
Guidepoint: What’s something you learned unexpectedly while working at Guidepoint?
Aryan: Not unexpectedly, but the values that good teamwork and supportive colleagues have brought to my work performance have been underrated.

The value of being able to express your opinion freely is unmatched and something that is prevalent through every level at Guidepoint!
Guidepoint: What’s the most unique kind of expert you’ve worked with at Guidepoint?

Guidepoint: Who is your biggest career inspiration whether internally at Guidepoint or externally?
