Within the Houston Office, Branson is part of a Training Committee dedicated to the continued upskilling and development of team members. “I’m an advocate for Training Committee events that focus on demystifying what it means to converse with leadership and instead builds relationships with intent, such as their MD Fireside Chats,” details Branson. Branson recognizes the strength of Protiviti’s people and their documented internal knowledgebase. These resources proved invaluable during the start of his career with the firm, and he has focused on ensuring graduate hires and new employees have access to tools, databases and knowledge that maximize their potential in delivering for clients.
