BACK8 BOYS The Back8 Boys' performance added a special touch to the evening, despite their busy schedule. We are truly grateful for the passion and talent they shared with us.

Thank you for making our event unforgettable.

Our Christmas presentation in the US was indeed outstanding; however, our experience in Brazil was equally remarkable. We had the privilege of witnessing the emergence of 8Sync, a boy band whose rapid ascent has posed formidable competition to B8B. Check out this musical talent display!

We experienced an enjoyable "Tamaleada" event at the office in Honduras. The occasion provided a splendid opportunity for camaraderie and shared enjoyment.

Thanks for your presence and the time you spent with us to this gathering.

In Costa Rica, we gathered to envelop our office with the festive essence of Christmas, an occasion we thoroughly enjoyed. We appreciate your valued presence during this activity.

"During the recent Wind River re-org, Jose was critical in relaying real time information to the TLs and AMs. He was even keeled as he took in some discouraging news from the client and worked hard to keep the rest of his number8 colleagues in the loop. He balanced the concerns of his number8 WR reports and did a good job keeping team morale as high as possible. Jose is always responsive and helpful to both number8 consultants and full time number8 team members."
