I signed the paperwork to become an official Reebok employee! Now today being my "first day" was no different from any of the others over the past 7 months. My projects are progressing steadily forward and I am making decisions more independently. I'm very happy with the relationship I have with my "boss" and his "boss" because of our mutual respect and talent. This feels like a great fit for me because of the smallness of my department (here in Canton), and grandness of the company; I can tackle big changes in my department and still have the stability of a strong brand.
