AFL’s Post

🎉 4️⃣ 0️⃣ for 4️⃣ 0️⃣ 🎉 When Brad Blackwell, Director of Global IT Services, joined AFL in 2018, he wasn't sure what his career at AFL would be like. He had all the normal feelings that come with change and new leadership in the IT world brought a lot of uncertainty. But he and his team embarked on a journey to implement strategy, discipline, and execution. And, now our global IT team is a strategic partner for the business, executing massive amounts of work while maintaining high scores across all metrics. While he's only been with us for the last 6 years he's had the pleasure of being part of tremendous growth within the organization. In the next 40 years, Brad would like to see AFL continue to grow, as a business and in continuing to support our local communities. He shared, "During the 40th anniversary celebration, President & CEO, Jaxon Lang, announced the AFL Foundation in partnership with The Spartanburg County Foundation. I cannot begin to share my excitement of what that kind of commitment means to me personally. Being a native of Spartanburg County, I am excited to be a part of such an organization. The spirit of AFL is certainly alive and vibrant, and I hope that spirit continues for the next 40 years as we grow, both in our community commitments and business objectives." You are an incredible asset to our organization, Brad. We appreciate your leadership in keeping us up and running and safe from an IT perspective and your steadfast support and participation in our community endeavors. 👊
