Q&A with Tess McGoldrick
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! The first six months of my career were rough. Coming out of business school I had an attitude that I was super smart and could figure anything out. Once I got over that ego and asked my (super smart) co-workers (who had already figured it out) for help, my learning curve shot up. The help I received accelerated how efficient I could be, gave me more time to do higher-value and more interesting work, and inspired me to pass along that same help as a coach and mentor later in my career.
What keeps you inspired?
I’ve never considered myself creative in the traditional sense – don’t ask me to draw, paint, or write something. But I consider myself a creative problem solver. With my work, I get to creatively problem solve nearly every day – and it’s never the same ‘problem’ which certainly keeps things interesting. Whether it’s designing a new feature that improves user experience, tackling how to incorporate a new data source into our analytics modules, or helping my team find ways to be more efficient with how we work – it’s always fun! I’ve joked with people that N2Pricing is my third child. So, like a true Mama Bear, what inspires me is continuing to see the product grow and provide value to the industry.
