Passion for one’s work is the motivation, it’s the love of what you do that drives the will to find a way to win every day. Purpose is when an individual fully understands how they contribute to the company’s overall success. When the culture of a company is rooted in the 3P’s philosophy, great innovations prosper for customers, partners and colleagues. This philosophy is also critical when building trusted partnerships with customers and partners to get deals over the line that deliver value to all involved.\n \nI have been fortunate to be on the frontlines of the TMT space, both living through and leading some of the most transformative mobile revolutions. \n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/d78524fe-6792-432e-b556-151d846fb25d/-/preview/","alt":"Glenn Lurie","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/06ec320c-424d-48c2-bf25-a76c2459787e","created_at":"2025-10-19T01:24:18.785Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"8d331e4a-4b32-480c-a05f-02d2c3586ab1","position":11,"title":"Marc Valenzuela","url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcvalenzuela/","note":"Marc Valenzuela serves as the Senior Economic Development Project Manager for Salt River Project (SRP), leading initiatives to attract and expand businesses within SRP's service territory.
