Meet the Indow Management Team
Indow is made of creative, ambitious, energy-conscience, fun-loving innovators. We are collaborators who are always thinking of the next way to connect with you and use technology to make our living environment more comfortable and efficient.
Our leadership team uses Certified Lean practices to help run things as efficiently as possible. They prioritize and model inclusion in their day-to-day practices, including encouraging collaboration. This was echoed in our diversity, equity, and inclusion survey where team members most strongly agreed that Indow managers are inclusive, open to new ideas, and allow flexibility for different availabilities or abilities.
We believe that by encouraging diversity, equity, and inclusion, we will access more expansive and varied ideas. That’s why two of our management team members sit on our DEI committee.
