In mid-February, Global Edge Group celebrated the 2023 year during the annual Global Edge Awards. Held every year, the Global Edge Awards is an opportunity for the company to recognize and commemorate the great work that went into the previous year and gear up for the year to come.

We believe that it’s essential to take the time to honor those who continuously push the boundaries of excellence, and part of that is recognizing the anniversaries of employees whose unwavering dedication has encouraged companywide success. Kirsten Thomson, Executive Director, celebrated her 10 year anniversary, and Luis Rendall, Business Director, celebrated his 5 year anniversary with the Global Edge Group. Thomson has served as our global point of contact for human resources for over the past 10 years. Rendall is the current Business Director and Accounts Manager for Global Edge Mozambique and has driven our Maputo office to success through his pursuit of excellence.

The organization also recognized members of the Visions and Values committee, a group of four employees who dedicated time to organizing, planning, and executing events within the offices that encapsulated the Global Edge Group’s core values. These members are Nicole Watkins, Recruitment Coordinator, Rima Dempsay, Global Finance and Compliance Coordinator, Kaleigh Habeck, Social Media Coordinator, and Jasmine Quinn, Recruitment Specialist. Their efforts were noted to have a large impact on our organization’s overall wellbeing through planning events such as office celebrations, birthday gifts, and social responsibility initiatives that give back to our communities.

Among the highlights of the evening were the prestigious awards presented to the individuals who have showcased exemplary performance and innovation within the core values of the Global Edge Group – Excellence, Integrity, Social Responsibility, Fun, and Outside-the-Box Big Thinking. Based on nominations from their colleagues and Key Performance Indicators, these awards showcase only a fraction of the commitment to excellence from our entire Global Edge team.
