Exclusive: ‘The Good…The Badass…& The Huskies’ – Barb “Bloody Legend” MacLean, Celero Solutions in “Buckaroos 2022”
This badass buckaroo is screenplay material. Starting out as an analyst at Celero Solutions in 2001, Barb MacLean hustled her way up to the top. Twenty years on, she’s the VP of Integration & Analytics, and we all bow down to her superior knowledge. What’s more, she’s still ploughing forwards on her upwards trajectory. Go on MacLean! We’re delighted to present to you, the ultimate buckaroo, the Rocky Balboa of Fintech …Barb “Bloody Legend” MacLean!
People-first approach…
With MacLean’s leadership, we’ve seen Celero deliver better and better client experiences – including their recent digital partnership with 1st Choice Savings and Credit Union. Putting customers at the heart of the experience is where MacLean really shines as a fintech expert. “It’s not about the fin. Or the tech. It’s about the people”, MacLean reveals. “Treat them right, and it will come back to you in more ways than you could possibly imagine”.
…And huskies
You may be wondering how MacLean came to earn the name “Bloody Legend”. Well, while there are many reasons, the term was first coined by our Editor-in-chief, Ali Paterson in relation to her fabulous husky dogs. Of course, we couldn’t resist asking a little more.
“Once a husky person, always a husky person”, MacLean proclaims. “What could be more fun than getting dogs involved in your outdoor activities when it’s winter for six months of the year? The only answer is dog sledding. And the perfect breed for that is of course huskies”. We couldn’t agree more! Like a snowy Boudica, MacLean travels around in the most epic style …. See what we mean? Bloody legend.
Calling out jerks, unlearning lessons and listening to Yoda Of course, we want to be living legends too. So, we asked MacLean for some pointers. We weren’t expecting her to come back with this fabulous shopping list of instructions, but we LOVED it.
“Take or make opportunities. Try new things. Learn as much as you can. You must unlearn what you have learned. Surround yourself with good people. Don’t be a jerk. Call out jerks when you run across them. Send the elevator back down. Give other people a chance. Focus on execution. Do, or do not. There is no try”.
Oh! And if you noticed that little Star Wars’ Yoda reference in there, then you, my friend, are a legend too.
