Basically, it's making the workplace a space where success and fun go hand-in-hand,” said Mike Leo, CEO.

Having an extensive and successful career in marketing and social media, I was eager to rejoin the workforce after having two kids. It’s been a game-changer to work for a company where I continue to grow and face new challenges on the daily; all while receiving the understanding and flexibility essential to meeting my family’s needs,” said Kacie Vassari, Manager of Ripple Street’s consumer community.
