We’ve got some exciting news to share: Julia Schrock has risen through the ranks and is our new Sales Manager here at focusIT. Julia has been on the team for 3.5 years and works from her home in Philadelphia. Now, she’s our Sales Manager. As Sales Manager, she’ll be managing inbound customer requests, lead management and account management (to name a few things!), so we wanted to give you a proper introduction and congratulate her on her new position. Who better to give you the full scoop than Julia herself. Julia, take it away!

What was your first job ever? My first real job was as an intern on the Secretary to the  General Staff team for General Hertling on a military base in Germany

What’s the best part of working for focusIT? The best part of working at focusIT is definitely ‘the journey’ and opportunity for growth. In the short amount of time I’ve been at focusIT,  there have been a lot of varying goals, growth, and change. The constant aim for new goals is exciting and opens doors for a lot of improvement and teamwork every single day.  

Tell us a little known fact about yourself! I’ve moved roughly 14 times, living on multiple continents, in several countries, and in different states here in the US. It has been a fun ride to say the least! (+ I’m only 28 so hopefully the travels continue!)

Coffee or tea? Depends on the day!

Early bird or night owl? Early bird
