Spotlight on Gabie Polce, Our New SVP of Sales!

Our team has been hard at work welcoming the biggest and brightest innovators across industries in-person at our events nationwide over the last few months – if you’re reading this, you might even be one of them. As we charge into the new year, however, we’d like to take a moment to recognize a tremendous talent right here at home in our New York office. We can’t think of anyone more deserving of her promotion than Gabie Polce, who takes on a new role as our Senior Vice President of Sales this month.

After kickstarting her career in events through roles with the City of Albany and Rensselaer County, Gabie became an integral part of Millennium in 2017, when she joined our team as an Account Executive. Over the last 5 and a half years, she’s grown into a trusted co-worker, manager, mentor, and friend to those who are lucky enough to know and work alongside her.

New York City wasn’t always her end game – read on to find out why – but we can’t imagine it without her. We’re proud to have her tenacity and spirit leading the charge here and can’t wait to see the great things she’ll accomplish in the SVP role.

We sat down with Gabie to learn about her career journey, legacy at Millennium, and secrets to success.

How did you get started in the industry?
Gabie: I got started in this industry 5 and a half years ago when a guy who used to manage here at the time befriended me at Red Lion (A bar on Bleeker – We all went [there] after the holiday party this year) and told me I should work at Millennium. At the time I was living in Albany working for a nonprofit, and thought my next move would be Boston. I decided maybe NYC was for me so I uprooted everything, and haven’t left. I guess that guy was pretty good at sales.

How has your role evolved over time since you’ve been here?
Gabie: I started as an AE [Account Executive] because at the time, we didn’t have an SDR [Sales Development Representative] department. From there, I was a submanager under [Chief Revenue Officer] Sal, then I got to officially help build out the SDR division & manage it, then I got to manage my own sales team, and now I do a little bit of it all 🙂

What is one thing that you wish people knew about your job?
Gabie: In addition to closing deals, I also am in charge of the Sales Board and its upkeep – which I take very seriously (please disregard the drama with the movement of the board towards the end of last year – direct all questions on that to Rob Davis).

What are you most proud of in your career so far and why?
Gabie: I am most proud of how the SDR division has evolved. Adding that part to Millennium has been crucial in our growth, and watching young sales people come in and transition quickly into successful AEs is super rewarding.

What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?
Gabie: As long as you work hard and work smart, opportunities will come. Take every possible opportunity that you can to grow. Also – MINI GOALS EVERY DAY > ONE BIG GOAL! CHOP EM UP!

Connect with Gabie on LinkedIn to follow her career journey and congratulate her on her new role.

10 Essentials for Effective Recognition Programs: How To Do Employee Recognition Well in The New Workplace

Contributed by O.C. Tanner

In times of great change in the workplace, consistent recognition can help employees feel connected, fulfilled, and empowered to do their best work. It increases their sense of belonging and makes them want to stay. A consistent flow of employee recognition creates a workplace culture and community where people thrive.

How can companies maximize the impact of their recognition efforts? Here are 10 essential strategies for effective recognition programs:

Offer Tools That Are Easier to Use

Incorporate recognition tools into the fabric of your employees’ everyday experience and their flow of work. Use technology integrations like those in Culture Cloud so employees can easily and quickly give recognition when they see great work happening in the apps they use every day: while sending emails in Outlook, chatting on Slack or Teams, or working in Chrome. Embed training into your recognition tools so employees know how to create meaningful experiences when recognizing one another.

How to Make the Most of Your Next Security Audit

Contributed by Cyolo

The cybersecurity landscape has shifted at a tectonic scale over the past few years. As we approach 2023, the world is finally settling into something resembling normalcy.

For the first time since 2019, your end-of-year audit can fully assess the vulnerabilities created by the triage-heavy pandemic years.

Between legacy applications, over-permissioned vendors, and remote workers, the results of this year’s audit may be rough. But take heart. This year, your audit is not your finish line — it will serve as your baseline for moving forward. It’s also the perfect opportunity to outline mid- and long-term objectives for your security program.

This is the year to right-size the technology and processes that kept your organization afloat, refocusing them into contributors to strategy, business agility, and innovation, rather than barriers to advancement.

A New Lens for a New Landscape

The way businesses operate today could hardly be more different than the way thy ran just three years ago.

The digitization of business processes has increased your organization’s attack surface more than ever.
People have become the new network perimeter. Identity-based access control will be key to shoring up your security posture, especially for remote workers and third-party vendors.
Today’s rate of innovation and systems complexity has widened the gap of modernization between new and legacy tools, creating higher-stakes vulnerabilities.
An intense regulatory environment is only growing more rigorous, making compliance harder to achieve and driving the need to accommodate existing and emerging standards.
Cybersecurity insurers are increasing due diligence, requiring security basics like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO). Companies that cannot comply face drastically higher premiums, if not outright denial of coverage.

Evaluating your security controls and posture the same way you did in 2019 won’t give you the clarity you need to make the most impactful decisions moving forward.
