Her client-centric approach and ability to build strong relationships will be instrumental in uncovering new business opportunities and fostering long-lasting partnerships with our clients.”

Carr said she was excited to help amplify Yango’s offering: “I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Yango. As a business that has been quietly delivering exceptional results for its clients, I’m eager to introduce Yango’s innovative solutions to a wider audience.”
