The customer is our rocket fuel - Focus on the customer and everything else will follow.

Together is more than the sum - The collective genius is our leverage.

Be in it to win it - Take ownership and hold yourself - and each other - accountable for the results.

Simplify and go - Don't over-analyze. Execution is everything.

Always move forward - Live on the solution side of life. Challenge the status quo.

Shypple is now at the forefront of scaling on a global scale. To further our progressive growth we are looking for a product owner to join our team.
