At JK, our core values are the foundation of how we serve our customers, support one another, and grow as an organization. They guide every interaction and every decision we make across the enterprise.
During our recent Enterprise Town Hall, we continued a favorite JK tradition: celebrating employees who bring these values to life every day. Through peer nominations, colleagues recognized team members who go above and beyond. This year’s winners demonstrate outstanding dedication and commitment, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements.
Below are the honorees of JK’s 2025 Core Value Awards. Please join us in congratulating them!
It’s My Job
Moe Aram, Project Director
When a client project more than doubled in scope mid-stream, Moe pivoted quickly, re-planning the work, coordinating additional materials, and keeping all stakeholders aligned. Thanks to his calm leadership and ownership of every detail, the team delivered a more functional, efficient staging area for the client’s IT assets and strengthened a key customer relationship.
Sheila Nguyen-Pham, Senior AR Supervisor
Sheila lives “It’s My Job” every day, especially in her work supporting secured government accounts. She takes responsibility not only for her own portfolio but also for the broader success of her team, anticipating issues, resolving problems quickly, and finding ways to improve processes. Her sense of ownership, reliability, and willingness to go above and beyond make her a daily example of what It’s My Job truly means at JK.
Sande Randall, Receptionist, Admin Assistant
As the first face and voice many people encounter at JK, Sande sets the tone with warmth, patience, and professionalism. She jumps in wherever needed, often well beyond her job description, to support coordinators and colleagues, especially during peak season. Her willingness to help, deep institutional knowledge, and genuine kindness make her both an invaluable teammate and a cherished friend to those who work with her.
Be Caring and Courteous
Dianne Woodward, International Relocation Coordinator
Dianne is described as a “ray of sunshine” for good reason. She brings positive energy to her team every day, while treating customers and accounts with exceptional care – even in the most challenging situations. Her contagious smile and laughter brighten the day for everyone around her, making her a shining example of what it means to be caring and courteous at JK.
Have Moxie!
Adam Nelson, Account Executive
Adam is a bold, relentless prospector who has helped JK Technology Services expand into the Mission Critical and data center space. He tackles tough challenges head-on, brings competitive urgency to every opportunity, and has built a strong network that is opening new doors for the company. His drive and determination are a powerful expression of JK-style moxie.
Edwin Sejas Olivera, Senior Truck Mechanic
If there’s a tough job in the shop, chances are Edwin is already on it. In just two years on the JK Maintenance Team, he’s become one of the people everyone counts on, steady, upbeat, and always willing to jump in. Edwin shows what “Have Moxie” really looks like. He doesn’t shy away from hard or messy work; he leans into it, stays patient, and keeps looking for a way to make things better. Edwin has grown into a natural leader among his teammates. He takes the time to walk others through complicated repairs, makes sure the work is done safely, and never cuts corners. You can hand him any assignment and know he’ll give it his full attention and follow it through.
Together We Succeed
Christa Moore, Government Sales Consultant & David Henderson, Supplier Contracts Manager
When you think about our core value “Together We Succeed,” it’s easy to think of Christa Moore and David Henderson. They don’t just work alongside each other – they work as one team in support of a critically important government client.
Christa and David regularly step outside the lines of their job descriptions to make sure complex, high-impact moves come together smoothly. They’re the ones connecting the dots between departments, double-checking details, and making sure everyone has what they need to do their part.
What really stands out is how they do it. They listen, they communicate openly, and they treat everyone with respect. They’re a clear example that when we share the work and the wins, we truly succeed together.
Commit to Growth
Clarke Mahek, Moving Consultant
Clarke has had a standout year as the top outside sales move consultant, but what makes him really stand out is how he shows up every day. He’s reliable, prepared, and always looking for better ways to serve customers and grow the business. The smart strategies he brings to the table aren’t just about numbers, they’re about building trust and long-term relationships.
Even with a full schedule, Clarke makes time for his teammates, especially new team members. He checks in, answers questions, shares what’s worked for him, and wants to see others succeed, not just himself. You can see his commitment to growth in the way he pushes himself, supports his peers, and stays focused on helping the whole sales team – and JK – move forward.
Connect the Dots
Maria Murillo, Warehouse Lead Specialist
Maria understands how her work directly impacts client satisfaction, revenue, and long-term partnerships. She keeps our facility clean, organized, and welcoming, while continually looking for ways to improve the Warehouse Management System experience for clients. Her ability to link day-to-day operations with the bigger picture makes her a clear example of “Connect the Dots” in action.
Patricia Smith, FP&A Manager
Patricia is the person you want in the room when timelines are tight and details matter. She brings Accounting, FP&A, and Operations together, translating issues into shared plans and staying with the work until it sticks. By documenting, training, and empowering others, she ensures solutions scale beyond any one person. Her work is the definition of connecting the dots across teams to deliver coordinated, repeatable wins.
The Bottom Line
Daniel Young, Assistant Warehouse Manager
Daniel is known for his diligence, precision, and attention to detail. His thorough approach ensures that processes are followed correctly to safeguard our financial performance. By keeping a close eye on the details that matter, Daniel helps protect the bottom line while supporting operational excellence.
Sharae Vendiola, Senior Accounting Specialist
Sharae manages billing for one of our major accounts, and this year achieved a remarkable milestone: A zero percent error rate for the entire year. Her accuracy, consistency, and professionalism not only exceed industry norms but also strengthen our partnership and reputation with this key client. Her dedication is a powerful example of how “The Bottom Line” is upheld through meticulous, high-quality work.
Care and Respect – Brand Promise Award
Tabytha Thompson, Senior HR Manager
If you’ve ever worked with Tabytha, you know why she’s being recognized for Care and Respect. She has a way of showing up in the hardest moments with calm, compassion, and clarity. Whether she’s helping someone through a tough conversation or guiding a leader through a sensitive situation, people walk away feeling heard, respected, and supported.
Tabytha’s role isn’t easy, but she handles it with steady grace. She actively listens, asks thoughtful questions, and makes space for differing perspectives, while still keeping company standards and expectations front and center. That balance of empathy and accountability is a big part of why so many people trust her.
This past year, when a team member went out to start a family, Tabytha quietly took on additional responsibilities to keep things running smoothly. She learned new processes, built out clear SOPs, and did it all without disruption to the business. She doesn’t look for credit; she simply sees what needs to be done and does it – always with a positive attitude and a genuine smile.
Tabytha’s everyday actions – how she listens, how she communicates, and how she cares – are a true reflection of our Brand Promise. She doesn’t just talk about care and respect; she lives it, and in doing so, makes JK a better place to work for all of us.
