Like nearly everyone else, COVID set us back a bit, but it hasn’t stopped all of our progress! Our team continues to grow, both in terms of the number of people, where we work, and who we’re working with.

People & Places

With our latest new hire this week, we’re now up to ten! As we grow in numbers, the number of different cities wherein we have employees has also grown – in addition to our Omaha HQ, we have staff in Lincoln, NE, Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. Click here to see all ten members of Team Verdis and their bios. I’ll be honest, it’s a team of all-stars, and I’m really excited about the crew of phenomenal people we’ve amassed.
