Blue Inc. Schaumburg: Employee Spotlight

This week’s Employee Spotlight is Tom Zinschlag.  Tom has been voted by his peers as a true leader here at Blue and we are going to get to know him a little better.  He studied at UNL and got a degree in Sociology and Psychology, as well as a Master’s in Sociology from Roosevelt University.  Tom worked for five years in the Mental Health field before finding his way to Blue, looking for a place that offered more growth and advancement.  He says that the most important thing he has learned since his start here is patience.  “The training program at Blue promotes personal development and it’s something I try working on in my personal life as well.” 

On a lighter note, I asked Tom if he could have any super power at all, what would it be and why and his response was pretty good:  “Super human strength!  Like the Hulk.  I always liked the Hulk’s character as a kid because he was a scientist that pushed the boundaries of science so far that he turned into a super hero. “

Thanks Tom for letting us get to know you better!

Until next time..

This week, we are going to get to know Julio Cortez.  He has been voted by his peers as being an exceptional example of what a leader is.  He was drawn to Blue by the fun work environment and the opportunity for growth.  A Depaul alum, he studied Business Entrepreneurship and has learned a lot since his start at Blue.  The biggest thing he as learned is “creating relationships is really important in this company, and I’m learning how to be really great at it and open up.”  Julio is a hard worker and has the ultimate motivation- his daughter Janelle, and with the help of our supportive management team, they will help Julio succeed and reach his goals.  

Thanks Julio for letting us get to know you a little better!

Stay tuned for the next Employee spotlight!

This week’s Employee Spotlight is Danial Afzal, a native to Pakistan and a great addition to the Blue inc family.  He studied Rhetoric and Media studies at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregan and moved to Chicago because of our opportunity in Marketing, and Danial says, “Blue was the first company that approached me for an interview which I couldn’t resist!”  Although Danial has learned a lot in his short time here, he says that one of the most important things he has learned patience with a lot of things, and he has really come far.  

Thanks Danial for letting us get an inside look into your life, and stay tuned for our next Employee Spotlight!

This week’s Employee Spotlight is Ben Kerrigan, or as we lovingly call him “BK”.  BK has been stepping up his game and was recognized by his peers as a leader.  

Ben graduated from SIU with a degree in Sports Administration and when he came to Blue, Inc. looking for a new challenge and an opportunity for growth.  Being a two time national decathalon champion at the NJCAA Division III level, Ben is always motivated by a challenge and always strives to be better.  He says that the most important thing he has learned since his start at Blue is, “the value of helping friends, family, and most importantly people who were strangers.”

Thanks BK for letting us get to know you better! Keep up the good work!
