There’s a lot of magic happening behind the scenes here at fusionSpan, and we thought we’d give you a peek behind the curtain…

By introducing you to our Director of Innovation Lab, Himali Shah!

Himali is a fS veteran and will have been with the team for 8(!) years in May. What’s keeping her around? “I love the constant challenges… I can honestly say it’s the most fun my brain has had since college.”

A love of meeting new problems with creative solutions is only fitting for her position, but she doubles down on prioritizing innovation, naming it as her favorite of fusionSpan’s company values, but emphasizing that it cannot exist without trust and community – “For me, innovation strikes when talking to the trusted community we’ve built.”

Himali calls Rockville home but is the ultimate world ✈️🌍 traveler. She’s leaned into fusionSpan’s remote work culture, taking the team with her across the globe via Zoom.

Her favorite place for remote work, so far? 🇲🇦 Marrakech!

I'm Julia and I am a former Marketing Specialist at Sidecar, and I hold a Bachelors of Science in Strategic Communications and Sociology. Originally from Boulder, CO, and I still reside here. I have a deep-rooted passion for conservation and environmental justice. My New Year's resolution is to infuse creativity into each day, making art a daily practice. When the sun is shining, you'll find me outdoors—whether it's hiking through scenic trails or enjoying a relaxing moment on a rooftop patio. Yoga and staying active are vital components of my routine. On a lighter note, my guilty pleasures include indulging in White Cheddar Cheeto Puffs and basically anything from Trader Joe's snack aisle. If I could choose a superpower, it would be shape-shifting, embracing the notion of multiple choices bundled into one. While I don't have any pets yet, I'm eagerly looking forward to the day when a furry friend becomes part of my life. Excited to collaborate and make meaningful contributions to our team's success!
