One of CDM's core values, “driven to win,” describes how Wong succeeded in his 6-year tenure. CDM develops talent from within, he said, and each leader on his team started as an individual contributor. Wong has been able to level-up through one-on-ones with leaders, tailored training and visits with business partners like Facebook to learn about new products and attend workshops.

Another company value? “Collaboration.” For Simpson, it describes how employees are encouraged to be vocal about ideas that are important to them — even if they aren't implemented. While the team collaborates on topics like adopting new tech, they also come together to have fun and give back to the community. Simpson and other team members volunteer at schools by making toys and painting and cleaning the grounds.
