Bellamy, Chris

Education: Ohio University

First Thing I Do When I Start My Day: I start each day by catching up on the latest news. It’s a must for me. 

What Motivates Me: Bringing in new hires and watching them succeed has always been very satisfying. I am motivated every day by seeing members of our team try things they didn’t think they could do, grow from the experience and then excel. 

Most Important Leadership Quality: As a leader of an amazing and growing team, the most important quality I can possess is the ability to build trust. Everything stems from that. Trust creates and nurtures a culture of openness and honesty. It allows for inclusion and making everyone feel heard and seen. 

Hobby/Passion: I love golf. I love it for the challenge it presents (each and every time I play) and for the perspective it gives me. You know you’re going to have good holes and bad ones, and as long as you don’t take it too seriously, you learn from that and have some laughs along the way.
