Thanks to all the dads out there, from the Intuit family (and our kids). Shankar Venkatraman Senior Product Designer Mississauga, Ontario, Canada “Haha, don’t ask me why I’m a penguin! She thinks penguins are the coolest animal in the world and her life’s aim is to become one. She doesn’t know how things work and that’s ok.“ Damion Wright Senior Sales Leader – US Sales, Early Career & Diversity Programs Denver, Colorado, United States “Our dad is the greatest because he is very supportive, handles situations tactfully, and is extremely hard working.” John Li Global Web Marketing Leader Mountain View, California, United States “My dad is the greatest because he is always willing to read whichever book I want and as many books as I want.” James Dutczak Development Manager Edmonton, Alberta, Canada “My dad is the greatest because he’s always helping me out with hard things to do, like homework, and I really appreciate that and also because he’s always in a good mood when I’m around.” Sundar Balasubramanian Director – Product Management, QB Desktop, QBO Advanced Bangalore, Karnataka, India “My dad is the greatest because he always explains something to me during our cycle rides every day. It’s now become our little tradition where I bug him with a new topic every day and he explains patiently through his mask! One of the recent such topics was how Jeff Bezos started Amazon and the concept of network effects.” Jason Todd Digital Content Manager San Diego, California, United States “My dad is the greatest because he says the most hilarious and random things — he’s a big goofball. I’ll give you an example. His name is Doug, and ever since I was a kid, he would always say, ‘you know that my name backwards is Guod (said like gūd)? Do you know why that is? It’s because I’m a really guod guy!’ Then, he would always follow up with an emphatic, ‘HA!’ He’s always very pleased with his corny dad jokes, which honestly just make them even more funny.” +++++ Previous Post Lessons Learned from an Intuit Accessibility Champion Next Post International Women in Engineering Day: 6 Lessons Learned for Owning… Written by Intuit Blog team Our team of contributors loves to uncover inspiring stories and share helpful tips to help power your prosperity.
