Pros

I am sharing this while attending our annual sales kickoff and leadership summit. It has never been more apparent to me that we have the right teams and leaders in place to help our customers win in their markets. This is incredibly motivating.

Cons

Less of a con, more of a challenge. Can we all mobilize fast enough, as a team to meet our customers’ needs? 2025 is going to be a critical year for Calix.
