Cprime Employee Spotlight – Getting to Know Bridget O’Brien, Scrum Master
Our Employee highlight of the month is Bridget O’Brien, Scrum Master! See what she’s up to outside of work, and what motivated her to join Cprime.
Q: What attracted you to Cprime?
I was interested in taking on a new challenge and Cprime seemed like the natural next step.
Q: What led to your decision to join?
Everyone I spoke to at Cprime while interviewing was passionate about Cprime and their role and it seemed like a great fit!
Q: Describe your job in 25 words or less.
Servant leader who provides support for groups to improve and ensure effective outcomes using agile methodologies.
Q: What’s your favorite part of the job?
Working with a diverse group of people who are all passionate about what they do. I find it super gratifying seeing incremental changes and improvements I helped foster on teams. Especially if someone was at first resistant to change, helping them have that “aha” moment is awesome.
Q: How would you describe your approach to leadership?
I’d categorize my approach to leadership as more of a coaching/participative type of leadership. I like to identify individuals and teams strengths and nurture those. Gaining feedback and suggestions from all individuals is important to me, and I think an environment where teams have that platform makes them most successful.
Q: Three things that many people don’t know about me:
- Growing up I traveled all over the world since my mother is a flight attendant (I’ve been to 20 countries so far).
- I collect old vinyls, my collection started with my Dad’s and expanded from there.
- I love college football, I’m a huge Penn State fan!
Q: If you were a superhero, what superpower would you want to have?
Flying, just think it’d be such a rush.
Q: If you were to write a self-help book, what would the topic be?
Honestly I probably wouldn’t like writing a self-help book, I’ve recently been into reading memoirs and biographies on various leaders — Shoe Dog and Elon Musk are my top two favorites.
