The company is meeting unique needs in a unique way, and it's demonstrated that product-market fit with sustained growth over the past 15 years. As we build the sales organization that can scale to support the next 15 years, I’m looking forward to the opportunity to draw on the immense heartland talent that surrounds Origami’s Chicago headquarters.”
