We have an amazing team at Cypris, and we're excited to launch our Culture & Community Spotlight posts to celebrate each of them! Starting us off is Rudy!
Describe your Cypris journey so far
My time at Cypris so far has been very rewarding - I’ve grown more in this role than in any of my previous roles. I am challenged every day to find creative solutions for our customers. Since joining Cypris, I have become more confident on the phone and improved my LinkedIn and messaging skills.
How would you describe your role at Cypris?
I’m a Business Development Representative, so the core of my role is top-of-funnel creation for sales opportunities. I reach out to business leaders to understand their current processes and see if Cypris can help make them more efficient. Most of my day is spent researching companies, sending emails, and having conversations with R&D leaders.
Why did you decide to join the team at Cypris?
Previously, I spent a few years in tech recruiting and decided to transition to software sales. After a bit of research, Cypris became my top choice. I felt confident in the R&D space and enjoyed how open-minded and inquisitive R&D professionals are. After meeting with our leadership team and seeing their success scaling startups, I felt confident Cypris would be the right next step for me.
Tell us about the most exciting project you’ve worked on at Cypris so far.
In sales, projects are ongoing – we’re consistently working with customers to help them make their processes more efficient. One project our team has recently undertaken is implementing a new software - Salesloft. It’s a sales enablement platform that allows us to have more conversations with potential customers.
What do you think makes Cypris’ culture unique?
We’re remote-first, so everyone works very autonomously. Everyone here is very motivated to grow both personally and professionally. I’ve had lots of coaching opportunities with leadership. Even as we grow, our leadership still finds time to chat with everyone, which I find to be really unique.
Who would you swap lives with in the office for a day?
I would swap lives with Claire, who does recruiting and HR here, as my previous time as a recruiter overlaps quite a bit.
When you’re not working, what are you doing?
I am a father of two beautiful children, Rudy & Ren. If I am not working, I am likely playing with them or lounging. Being a father has been the single greatest achievement of my life and I am excited to watch them and my family grow.
