Brian Earley, IREON, Metropolis Group, Inc.

Name: Brian Earley

Title: Client Account Executive

Company Name: Metropolis Group, Inc.

What was the most challenging part of working during the pandemic?
Learning what the “new normal” was going to be. Experiencing the “Zoom Boom” with most, if not all meetings going this route. And also the looming question of, when can we get back into the office and formally interact again with our internal teams, face to face, from a distance of course.

What aspects of working from home did you enjoy most?
The brief period of time where the commute was a short walk from bedroom to the home office in the next room. Being home also allowed me additional time with our newborn daughter to experience “firsts” of hers, which normally I would have missed out on being at the office.

What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2020?
Not so much as a personal accomplishment, but more of a company accomplishment. The ability of the entire company to adjust their norms, continue their diligent efforts in work ethic and most importantly, being there for our clients and guiding them through an uncertain period of time.

What was your most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2020?
This year, I don’t think there is one particular project that stands out. As a company, what we value as most notable is our clients trust in Metropolis, and reliance on us to make sense of the ever changing environment and industry standards, and allow us to continue to guide them and their projects in the right direction every day.
