Today’s spotlight: Julie Gable

COO

TBConsulting

Gable has more than 20 years of experience in IT and business consulting with a proven track record of delivering meaningful and measurable technical and operational results. As TBC’s COO, she keeps her teams rowing in the same direction by fostering cooperation and collaboration while honoring each member’s contribution to the effort.

Lesson learned in 2020: “I realized how much my teams value their work regardless of where they perform it — people did not have to be in the office to be highly productive. This new perspective will inform my decisions as we develop innovative ways to offer increased flexibility to meet the needs of individuals and teams.”

Source of pride: “I am proudest of the people I have brought into the IT industry through what I call ‘creative staffing.’ I often seek out non-technical people who are culturally aligned (analytical, strong communication and work-ethic) and then develop their technical skills. Few things are as rewarding as watching these individuals overcome the technical hurdles and then go on to have meaningful careers in IT.”

Surprising fact: “Although I have a desk job, I am happiest when I am outside.  I have hiked a glacier in Alaska, a ‘14er’ in Colorado, and the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim.  I have a goal to visit all 63 of our National Parks … only 45 more to go.”
