A message from Nimble AMS General Manager, Rob Miller
“In mid-November, I had the pleasure of traveling to upstate NY to collaborate with the talented Nimble Research & Development and Product Management teams – and it snowed! The holiday season is certainly upon us.
The purpose of the meeting was to solidify our 2023 product strategy and build a roadmap based on industry feedback to make sure we’re helping our clients overcome challenges and uncover opportunities in the year ahead.
I’m proud of our staff and thankful for the support and guidance that our clients and many of you have provided us. We are grateful for the industry and its members we serve, and we look forward to a successful 2023!” — Rob Miller, General Manager of Nimble AMS and Gravitate.
