Meet Our Award-Winning Team Members

Every year at TrustRadius we celebrate the TRUTH Awards! 

We recognize one team member who embodies each of our core values,

and one team member who embodies them all. 

Here are our winners for 2020:

“I think Sandhya is the MVP of our team. She’s one of those people that genuinely cares for other humans. She is one of the most humble people I know and would much rather cheer on others than cheer on herself. Sandhya is kind, generous with her time, always happy to help, engages honestly, and is just the greatest human. Hands down a perfect example of all our core values.”

T.R.U.T.H. - Sandhya Srinivasan - Software Quality Engineering Manager

“Elizabeth is the person you go to first when you want a researcher’s eye on a project. She is always eager to help, and does a truly fantastic job at communicating with other teams. She is transparent everyday with all of the work she does on the research team. If there’s anyone I would want on my team going forward, it’s Elizabeth.”

Transparent - Elizabeth Sullivan-Hasson - Research Analyst

“Kelly is such a joy to work with, and I am not the only one that has noticed. A lot of what makes our onboarding program successful is Kelly. She is super thoughtful with clients, with other teams, with everyone. So many of our customers have praised her work. She represents what makes TrustRadius special.”

Respectful - Kelly Flones - Director of Customer Success Operations

“Lane is a joy to work with and has a big heart. She is constantly asking questions and pushing to have us all be the best we can be. Plus, she is killing it on the sales front. Extreme work ethic, destroys her quotas, and always remembers to credit her team. 100% unstoppable.”

Unstoppable - Lane Cox - Director of Sales

“Erik is a literal legend. I am so in awe at everything he does to make this company run smoothly. Erik meets the challenge everyday. He does everything for everyone all the time 24x7x365 without complaint. He’s been known to say “my job is to make your job easier” and he truly embodies that spirit.”

Team Player - Erik Hlavaty - Sr. Director of DevOps

“Mark has only been here a year or two, yet he transformed the trajectory of this company in ways that are only beginning to be felt. He has taken a pretty complicated topic (SEO) and made it accessible to the masses. Mark generously shares his humor and humanity with all of us. He doesn’t seem to hold back.” 

Human - Mark Barrera - Sr. Director of SEO / UGC
