“There aren't enough words to describe Julia's quality of work and her passion for what she does. Julia joined as an early engineer at Brex building integrations and had an impact across various teams within the Card product. She quickly scaled to become an engineering leader at the company, where she displayed a high level of emotional intelligence while empowering her team to do their best work. Outside of work, Julia has always embodied a growth mindset and takes action to learn about new topics to up-level herself. She doesn't hesitate to help people around her, and her impact goes a long way, in an out of work. I would be so lucky to work with Julia again!”
