I met Deanna playing beach volleyball at the Malibu pier when we were 19. Despite our very different backgrounds, we became fast friends and spent much time after work playing volleyball. Through the years, Deanna continues to impress me with her creative approach to technical enterprise sales, her ability to close deals no one considers possible, all while maintaining strong relationships and building camaraderie on her teams. She works hard and plays hard and I’ve learned so much from her.
Bill Schlough is a humble, servant leader who’s incredibly thoughtful about everything he does. Whether he’s talking about team development, mentorship, or providing the Giants’ fans with a great experience, you can bet that Bill has read, researched, and thought about his approach to all aspects of his life. Bill and I spent two years in business school together, and now get a kick out of similar stories our kids’ experience playing competitive baseball!
