Our Mission: Cultivating Success

We put people first in all we do. Our community is fueled by a steadfast belief in a positive future for all of us. We optimize technology to enhance businesses and elevate people with the goal of securing a positive future for each of us.

Our Culture

Our culture is centered on the principle of “Practical Idealism.” We encourage idealism and optimism among our colleagues. At the same time, we have a practical bias for action. We know we must be practical to get things done and to serve our clients and community effectively. We are all about taking care of our clients and our colleagues. We believe in doing the right thing, all the time. We insist upon respectful candor among our colleagues and with our clients and root out “political” behavior whenever we find it. We are relationship-based and avoid a transactional mindset. We take the long view to building our business and community.

Our Core Values

We hire idealistic people with a practical mindset and a bias for action. We are here to help our clients get the hard work done. Problem solving excites us.

We know Garnet River’s financial performance is important. Our sustainability depends on profitability. Yet our focus is always on the quality of our products and services. We trust that healthy financial results will follow our excellence. Money is not our obsession but quality is.

We know strong long-term relationships require good manners. We are very candid with one another and with our clients—always with an empathetic and respectful approach. We bring a long view to our relationships.

We encourage one another to be curious, lifelong learners. We know this ethic is critical to our longevity. There is no room for complacency. We must be useful. We must be part of the solution.

We are optimistic. We know optimism is an essential ingredient to high performance. We balance our optimism with a certain amount of worry about the world. We strive to see things as they are and envision a better tomorrow.
