SAIM Team Snapshot: Melissa Wiggin

What is the best career lesson you’ve learned so far?

To not fear hearing the answer ‘no’ to a question. If someone says no to a question, you haven’t lost anything; but if they answer yes, you have gained something. Be brave and just ask the question!

What do you like most about your job?

I love being back in the software/SaaS industry, as well as working for a startup. In the short time that I have been with SAIM, I have really enjoyed meeting and interacting with my coworkers. The people are great!

What element of the SAIM digital platform is most interesting to you?

As an accountant, it is incredibly interesting to learn about the maintenance and monitoring of tank farms and how crucial these functions are. The SAIM platform provides real-time data that the facilities can use to make decisions to support the tank farm functions.

What drew you to begin your position with SAIM?

Previously, I worked in the software industry for several  years, but more recently I had been working in a different industry. I am drawn to the culture and the vibe of the software industry. The environment tends to spur out-of-the-box thinking and is collaborative, and I am happy to say that SAIM possesses these characteristics.

Also, I have previously worked with Tina. She is very dynamic and has a vision for the company. To have an opportunity to work with her again was a no brainer.

In five words or less, describe what it’s like to work for SAIM.

Stimulating. Exciting. Rewarding. Team-centric.

Where can you be found when you’re not at work?

I am usually home or doing some activity with my husband and two dogs. I love to cook but can’t follow a recipe to save my life.
