Growing in the Greenhouse: Spotlight on Data Scientist, Andrew Zirm

How did Andrew Zirm end up at Greenhouse? It’s not too off base to say that the stars just aligned for him. After completing his PhD at Johns Hopkins in astrophysics and working in academia for several years, Andrew wondered if there might be a more earthly application of his knowledge. He was pleasantly surprised to find out that there was, and Greenhouse gave him the opportunity to apply data to more everyday problems. Side note: We’re not the only ones to find Andrew’s career trajectory fascinating—he was the subject of a feature in the New York Times.

We caught up with Andrew to discuss his obsession with space, the similarities and differences between working in academia and tech, and his newfound notoriety in his family thanks to his Greenhouse bobblehead.

Growing in the Greenhouse: Spotlight on Product Marketing Manager, Jennifer Ho

Cup ramen, mac and cheese, and PB&J are about as gourmet as it gets when it comes to dining options for most college students. But Greenhouse Product Marketing Manager Jennifer Ho refined her culinary palate early.

While earning a degree in Economics at McGill University in Montréal, she was also climbing the ranks of search engines with her frequent updates on her food blog and Instagram account, Braised and Confused. The popularity of her posts, on everything from the latest restaurant openings in Montréal to food tours in Bangkok and Istanbul, led to lots of fun opportunities, including TV appearances and invitations to exclusive events.

After spending the first few years of her career in product marketing at L’Oréal, Jennifer was hungry for experiences beyond her hometown and set her sights on the Big Apple. We caught up with her to learn about her journey to Greenhouse, her role as Product Marketing Manager, and her top picks for dining in New York City.

Growing in the Greenhouse: Spotlight on Customer Success Manager, Scherezad Yusef

The connection between someone’s college major and their career path is not always clear. In fact, in this series so far we’ve already learned about the professional path of art history major-turned front-end developer Ellie Wawrzaszek, psychology major-turned recruiting coordinator AJ Biggers, and English major-turned recruiter Ariana Moon.

For Customer Success Manager Scherezad Yusef, the connection between her undergrad English degree, her Masters in Public Administration, and her current line of work might not be immediately obvious, but it turns out that they’ve all allowed her to explore a topic she feels passionately about: diversity and inclusion.

We caught up with Scherezad to learn how she turned her undergrad fascination with colonialism in literature into a Masters thesis focused on recruiting and retaining diverse students in her graduate school. Also, she reveals how she’s found a way to promote diversity and inclusion here at Greenhouse—in addition to her day job as a Customer Success Manager.

Growing in the Greenhouse: Spotlight on Security Engineer, Lauren “LV” Vicknair

Many sales professionals follow a similar path. It generally involves starting out as a Sales Development Representative, moving up to become an Account Executive, and then going on to becoming a Manager, Director, or VP of the department.

But Lauren “LV” Vicknair’s career trajectory has been anything but typical.

After working in sales for nearly a year, he decided to change directions entirely and joined the Greenhouse Engineering team. After over a year as a QA Engineer—and lots of self-study and extra hours—he recently made another transition to the Security team. We caught up with LV to learn about his early days at Greenhouse, what it was like to switch from sales to security, and why some people insist on calling him “Lorenzo Vespucci.”
