“Cody! Congratulations on your promotion to Gov IT Sales Manager! Your leadership, dedication, and vision have earned you this role. Cody is an OG; he has been an excellent Recruiter, an even better Account Manager, and now, a Sales Manager. Cody has a natural knack for business acumen, and when you couple that with his witty, sarcastic humor, you get a great leader. Cody has always been a top producer for Gov IT. He does this while inspiring his team and developing new and existing Account Managers. I admire Cody and his ability to do it all again – he was an established successful Recruiter, but he wanted more. He wanted to reshape his image, switch to sales, and be a leader; there are not many people who would start over 5+ years into their career and be able to do what he did. I am so proud of the leader you have become, Cody. You keep me on my toes, challenge me, and you’re always good for a laugh. Gov is beyond lucky to have you. Here’s to driving success and making a lasting impact. The future of Gov looks brighter and greener with you leading the charge!” – Senior Sales Director, Pharmaceutical & Government, Tarah Lovato
“I have had the pleasure of working with Cody since 2015; he’s always had great winter sweaters, a Miller Lite nearby, and a can-do attitude! Since 2015, Cody has taken on many titles – Recruiter, Dog Dad, Deal Puts King, Senior AM, Homeowner, and now, Gov IT Sales Manager! Cody didn’t have the most traditional path at ALKU, but he’s had one of the most memorable. Cody is battle-tested, resilient, and one of the hardest workers I know. He’s been successful as a Recruiter, an Account Manager, a Senior Producer, and now a Sales Leader. Cody has shown that he can be excellent at both sides of the desk, mentor other Account Managers, and monitor all forks in the office – all while staying true to his quirky self. Whether it be a Friday Poll, a Dirty Dish Call Out, or playing Fork Police – Cody is a true cornerstone to the Gov office and our Leadership team. He keeps the team laughing, keeps the office clean, and keeps the AMs dialing! Cody has an amazing ability to be direct, funny, and respected. It’s a hard balance to have – but he’s mastered it, and we couldn’t be luckier to have someone like you in our office and on our Leadership team. I am so proud of you, Cod – you did it!! Congrats to you and all your accomplishments.” – Recruiting Director, Government, Kayla Jones
