SuCo Spotlight July’24 – Art Landrey
This month SuCo wants to spotlight our very own, Art Landrey. If you look in the dictionary for the word “Resourceful,” you will see a picture of Art waving back at you. He’s a teammate who you can throw anything at, and he’ll get it figured out! In just the past few months, he has been exposed to concepts and terms that he has never had to work on or be exposed to, yet he has handled the transition with such grace. And, quite frankly, that speaks to Art’s greatest quality – no matter what he’s tasked with, he approaches it with a smile, a calm and comforting demeanor and a can-do attitude! Take a minute to learn a little more about Art…
How has SuCo evolved over the years since you first started working here?
When I first interviewed with Suited Connector in 2014, this is what the office at the Centennial airport looked like.
It was a humble but exciting beginning to an amazing career here at SuCo. I saw the company grow from 8 people to 100+ as well as 4 different home office locations. The advancement of our technology stack has been amazing to see and how it has supported the growth of the company. I also have had the privilege to cross over to different areas within the company which has given me great perspective on how critical all the cogs are in this machine, and how truly awesome the people are that keep us moving forward.
If you could instantly master another skill, what would it be and why?
I have always admired the craftsmanship of woodworking and the amazing and functional pieces that can be created by dedication and attention to detail. That would be an amazing skill to obtain instantly. I would be living the Ron Swanson life (I am already pretty good at eating meat).
If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
Tubthumping by Chumbawamba because life can be full of knockdowns, but you’ve got to get up again and again and don’t let anything keep you down, because there is so much good in the world for us all to enjoy.
If you could only listen to one music album for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
There are so many good ones that I associate with different moments and situations in my life that I could not narrow it down to one. I would have to sneak a couple extra in…
- Songs from the Big Chair – Tears for Fears (first album purchased)
- Kick – INXS
- Metallica – Metallica
- Awake – Skillet
- Pyromania – Def Leppard
- The Greatest Showman Soundtrack
- …. many more …
