Presenters

Josh Koenig

Meet Josh Koenig – Braintree Group’s Chief Technology Officer

Josh will be presenting at the GM Huddle on all things IT, where you’ll get to know all about him as a professional. In the meantime, here are some fun facts about Josh!

Outside of work, the most important thing to him is my family.

“My kids are heavily involved in soccer, and I love to go watch them play,” he said.

On the weekends Josh likes to BBQ and smoke different types of meats for friends and family.

“I just got a Blackstone Griddle so looking forward to experimenting.”

A fun fact about Josh? He used to do stand-up comedy locally in AZ and did The Improv once.

If Josh could have any superpower, it would be to be able to teleport.

“Being able to avoid traffic and get to places fast would be amazing,” he said.

Keep a look out for Josh at the GM Huddle and see if you can talk him into telling a few jokes!

Meet Tabitha Bower – Marketing Director

Outside of work, family is the most important thing to Tabitha. She loves traveling and taking adventures with her husband and 3 kids, Aiden (12), Paisley (6), and Charlie (1.5).

As far as a favorite hobby or pastime, Tabitha loves anything that involves water.

“My family has a sailboat and spends as much time in the summer aboard the boat sailing fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, cooking, and sleeping underneath the stars anchored in Duck Bay, Payette Lake!” she said.

A fun fact about Tabitha? She is 25% Korean, which you would never guess from her blonde hair and light eyes!

If she could have any superpower, it would be time travel.

“I’d love to experience different times in history.”

Tabitha will be joining the GM Huddle remotely – so keep an eye out for her on the screen!

Chloe Baul

Marketing Specialist

Meet Chloe Baul – Marketing Specialist

Outside of work, friends, family, and her cats are most important to Chloe. She enjoys playing and making music, from R&B to jazz, rock, and blues.

“I also love watching films, creative writing, attending concerts and traveling,” she said.

One fun fact about Chloe is that she is half British and was born in the U.K, where she spent most of her childhood.

“If I could have one superpower, it would be teleportation so I can travel whenever and to wherever I want.”

Not only will Chloe be at the Huddle, but she is also the voice behind the GM/AGM and Leader “Get to Know You” videos! Make sure to say hi to her!

Rebekah Zipfel

Divisional Controller

Meet Rebekah, our division controller.

Outside of work, Rebekah’s husband and two sons are what is most important to her. In her spare time, she can be found paddleboarding and crafting.

Fun fact about Rebekah? She skipped the 5th grade! If she could have any superpower it would be teleportation.

“I would teleport because I’m always running late, and I hate driving,” she said.

Be sure to introduce yourself to Rebekah at the Huddle and ask her about what she is currently crafting!

Vivian Ooi

General Accountant

Meet Vivian Ooi – General Accountant

Outside of work, Vivian values relationships, time, and experiences.

“It is important for me to spend time with friends and family regularly. I feel time is short, so I try to fill my time with people, things, and activities that bring me joy. I appreciate experiences and creating memories, so I love trying new things, getting outside of my comfort zone and saying yes to trips!” she said.

In her spare time, she loves to bake and cook.

“I have two cats and two dogs that keep me busy. I love spending time outdoors – hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing. I started paddleboarding last summer and have been getting back into snowboarding the last few seasons. I love traveling and being lost in foreign countries. For downtime, I like to read and journal. I gravitate towards dystopian and post-apocalyptic novels, biographies/memoirs, psychology/self-improvements books, and cookbooks. I also love plants; it’s fun repotting them and watching them grow and learning how to care for different kinds!”

An interesting fact about Vivian? English isn’t her first language. She didn’t learn English until she was about four years old.

If she could have one superpower it would be teleportation across space and time.
