About Etain Odea

I lead global teams through transformation. I am an excellent leader with abundant emotional intelligence who knows how to set clear goals and motivate a team to get themselves to the finish line. I am a strong people person who cares about my fellow employees and works to create a lively, enjoyable, and productive work environment, even through times of disruption, our new norm. I am often called upon to make difficult decisions in order to make a deadline or meet a company goal; I excel under pressure and have proven time and again that I have good instincts and can make the right decision when it is most needed. If I make a mistake, I acknowledge it, fix it, learn from it, share my learning and move forward.
