Our Core Values
Make It Happen
As individuals, our innate sense of agency means we never wait around for something to happen, but actively seek ways to contribute.
Do The Essential
We have the discipline for discerning what is most important, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the greatest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
Empower Others
Our success depends on our ability to make others successful – customers, partners and our teammates. When we empower the people around us, their contribution multiplies our efforts.
Destroy Your Masterpiece
We believe in complete dedication to our craft in everything we do at Gem, but we maintain the humility to destroy our masterpiece, and resign our need to be right, when superior solutions emerge.
Craft An Experience
We believe in the importance of a holistic experience, so everything we create must come from both a complete understanding of what our customers need and a vision for what will bring them delight.
Seek Knowledge
Nothing is more intrinsically rewarding than expanding our skillsets and knowledge. By engaging with people who look at the world in different ways, we are constantly challenged to learn from others, as well as share our own knowledge to help them grow.
