This month's spotlight features Sheila Willis, a rock star on our sales team! Sheila shows true dedication to her job, is often recognized quarterly and annually as a top performer and has been a member of the President's Club. We spoke to Sheila to learn more about her role and experience at V-Soft and what she likes to do in her free time.

Describe Your Role at V-Soft

I'm a Senior Business Development Manager and I've been with V-Soft for a little over four years. I work with clients to fill talent gaps and/or collaborate on innovative, project-based solutions.

What is The Best Thing About V-Soft?

V-Soft has a transparent and open culture. Everyone at the company is approachable at any time. That's unusual and special.

What is Something You're Proud to Have Accomplished at V-Soft?

I’m proud to have built strong relationships internally at V-Soft. I can truly depend on my teammates and we routinely go out of our way to help one another. Those connections translate into quality client service. It’s a lovely circle.

Any Interesting Stories in Your Line of Work?

When you are humans working with humans to solve problems created by humans, it's always interesting. Two of the things I love about this business are its simplicity and that no day is ever like another.

What Do You Enjoy Doing in Your Free Time?

My boyfriend and I love taking nature walks and I have become an amateur birder in recent years.

Also, having done theater since middle school, I still find time to do a play now and then. My last production, Thirteen Days, a play about the Cuban Missile Crisis, was closed a day and a half before opening due to COVID-19. I was cast as Robert McNamara, former US Secretary of Defense.

What’s a Fun Fact About Yourself?

I have two chihuahuas that never fail to bring me back to reality. Don’t judge me. I don’t dress them up. Unless it’s cold.
