Each quarter, we recognize Forterians who go above and beyond to make a lasting **IMPACT** at Forter with our **IMPACT Awards.**

Embodying Forter’s values can take many forms — with the only criteria that the winners make a significant IMPACT on their colleagues, customers or the Forter community by being:

- **Inclusive:** By creating an environment where everyone feels they belong, we can win as one team.
- **Mission-driven:** We have a clear sense of purpose and are willing to go the extra mile for customers.
- **Principled**: When we make decisions, we do what’s right.
- **Attentive**: We are present and always listen first.
- **Courageous**: We dare to take risks and view mistakes as learning opportunities.
- **Transparent**: We openly share ideas, information and opinions because we trust each other.

#### **Give us a little background about yourself — who are you, and what do you like to do in your free time?**

**Beth:** “I live just outside London with my boyfriend and our two-year-old springer spaniel, Lana. She has loads of energy, meaning I’m often found out on a walk or playing in the garden.”

**Molly:**“I was born and raised in Dallas, TX but made a move to NYC in early 2023! In my free time, I enjoy turning on some tunes and cooking a nice dinner. It’s my time to unwind, and it is slowly becoming one of my favorite parts of the day.”

**Or:**“I live in Tel Aviv, about a 20-minute walk from the Forter office. I enjoy reading way too many books (mainly SciFi & Fantasy), playing the occasional console game and love to travel with my wife.”

**Yehonatan:**“I live in Tel Aviv, where I was born and raised. When I’m not at work, you could probably find me in one of several coffee shops or beautiful open spaces the city has to offer.”

#### **Explain your role at Forter.**

**Beth:** “Working in Support at Forter is all about making sure the merchant experience is as good as it can be. I focus on ensuring our customers are enabled to use the portal, and any problems they encounter are addressed.”

**Molly:**“As the Events Manager, my job is to create memorable experiences for our customers and prospects. I spend my days handling logistics for events and tradeshows and figuring out how to make Forter stand out and leave a lasting impression.”

**Or:** “I’m a Staff engineer on the Payments team. I’m in charge of the tech side of our medium to large payments projects, initiatives and proof of concepts.”

**Yehonatan:**“I’m a staff engineer on the Payments team. I own the technical aspect of our main payment optimization system and work to keep myself and the team involved with the product and business aspects as well.”

#### **What is one fun fact that people might not know about you?**

**Beth:** “I love kayaking and even have an inflatable kayak to get out on the water.”

**Molly:**“I’m ranked #17 in Tetris in Dallas. It is my random phone gaming addiction, and I’m getting pretty good.”

**Or:**“I’m the company leader in custom Slack emojis — meaning I’ve uploaded the most, and others have uploaded many about me!”

**Yehonatan:**“I’m the team’s supreme authority when it comes to music. I manage the playlist to the utter satisfaction of everyone (no matter what they say)."
