One on One Spotlight: Andrew Warg

As an Enterprise Account Executive, Andrew is tasked with engaging large-scale businesses and helping them offer their employees something that can create meaningful change in their day-to-day lives. We're proud that Branch can be implemented at different sized companies and across a variety of industries, and our enterprise clients are integral to our success.

What is your job title and what are your responsibilities here at Branch?

Enterprise Account Executive. I'm responsible for partnering with amazing companies looking to help their employees with financial wellness. I focus on the large organizations across many industries based in the eastern half of the country.


What does your day-to-day look like at Branch?

Calls, Emails, Meetings……JK, every day is unique. Our team's focus is on engaging with potential customers/partners who are looking to solve problems for their employees, so that’s the main mission day in and day out. One hour I could be calling HR leaders from Fortune 1000 companies, the very next hour I could be running a demo for a potential partner who is looking to attract new employees by providing a best in class benefit like Branch!

What did you want to be when you grew up?

A superstar in the NBA, but unfortunately that dream was never realized…..still trying to dunk a full size basketball to this day. I can dunk a tennis ball though, so I at least I have that going for me!


What was your first job? 

Soccer Ref. My favorite part of the job was screaming goooooooooooooooooal every time someone scored.


What was the first thing you saved up to buy as a kid? 

I'm pretty sure it was a Sugar Ray CD. Cue “Every morning there's a halo hangin' from the corner/Of my girlfriend's four-post bed.” You know you remember that song.

3 words would you use to describe yourself: 

-Persistent

-Self-Aware

-Manchild

When you’re not working, what are your favorite things to do?

I love spending time with my wife and animals. You’ll often find us outside either on a walk or a hike in one of the many parks in MN. Side note, I am one of the weird people on this planet who enjoy ultra running….for those that don’t know, ultra running is running any distance greater than 26.2 miles. So a few weeks ago I celebrated my 31st birthday by running 31 miles. Anyone want to join me on my 32nd birthday?


The app (aside from Branch) you can’t live without? 

Strava

Favorite time of the day:

When the coffee hits...

5 items you have in your fridge at all times:

Spinach, Ice Cream, Frank's Red Hot, Carrots, Greek Vanilla Yogurt…..not in my fridge: TWIZZLERS Bites!!!

A song you will always dance to when it comes on:

Electric Feel - MGMT


Favorite part about working for Branch:

That’s easy: The people I work with. We’re all drawn to Branch by the opportunity to help working Americans gain access to financial services designed specifically for their needs. This common connection that brings us together has created an amazing group of colleagues that work hard every day to help others during their time of stress and need…...I love that. It feels good to do what we do.
