Celebrating Kathryn Gruver’s 10-Year Pepperversary
Congratulations to Kathryn Gruver on 10 incredible years at Eleven Peppers!
Kathryn has been a constant source of creativity, calm, and warmth since the day she started. She’s always the first to offer thoughtful feedback, a good laugh, or some much-needed calm during stressful moments. Outside of work, you can find her hiking with her kids, relaxing with her dog, or indulging in her love for snacks. Kathryn’s passion for design and her ability to juggle work and family life, all while keeping things light and fun, make her an invaluable part of the team. We’re so fortunate to have you with us, Kathryn – here’s to many more years of collaboration, adventure, and laughs!
To make it extra special, we used intel from the Peppers who know her best! For example, we learned that:
-
She did a big road trip with her family this past summer with a lot of interesting pit stops.
-
She has been working in the cyber directorate for a long time, making great connections.
-
Her favorite snack is nuts – all of them, sweet, candied, spicy, salted, roasted, or raw.
-
The company cruise was her first cruise, and she LOVED it!
We also sent out a survey about Kathryn, and this is some of the feedback we received:
-
“The thing I love most about Kathryn is how she never lets anything get her down, or too stressed out. Whenever things get a bit stressful, you can always count on her saying ‘It’s fine. We’re fine. Everything is fine!'”
-
“Our weekly team meetings are my fav memories. She is always bringing the humor and lighthearted conversations to make you feel comfortable.”
-
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know her family over the years, and I really love seeing them at so many pepper events. They are always decked out in pepper shirts and swag and it is an honor for me to have witnessed her raise a beautiful family over the last decade.
What a wild ride it’s been—and we’re just getting warmed up! Can’t wait for all the laughs, good times, and memories still on the way.
