Strengthening Global Connections: GFC’s Visit to Ahmedabad, India
December 2, 2024
At GFC, we recognize that building strong teams goes beyond professional collaboration — it requires creating meaningful connections across borders. The recent visit by Meg Gallup, Ian Kipperman, and Nate Lalonde to the India office was an enriching experience that blended teamwork, cultural exploration, and an appreciation for Ahmedabad’s vibrant history and modernity.
This visit to the India office was more than just a business trip; it was a chance to strengthen relationships, learn from one another, and celebrate our shared values. By experiencing local culture and engaging in meaningful activities, we reinforced the bonds that make GFC a truly global team.
We look forward to more opportunities to connect our colleagues overseas, and to continue building a workplace culture that values collaboration, respect, and a spirit of exploration.
