Beyond revenue, their mission includes cultural diversity, education and sustainability. Their team members share values of open-mindedness, curiosity and challenging conversations.
Crooked Compass encourages innovation and embraces a culture of inclusivity, appreciating diverse perspectives and seeking the best for the business. They engage with employees through regular feedback sessions, extending their culture globally by employing locals as guides in visited destinations.
