Honors & Awards
- Awarded to Gabriel M.Tech of the Month Award Travel + Leisure Oca 2020 Since joining the Orlando team back in April of last year Gabe has continued to impress everyone with his technical and customer service skills. Just in the past few weeks our leaders have received multiple compliments regarding his professional, friendly and satisfying service. Gabe is a Junior Tech with wisdom and personality well beyond his experience. Way to go Gabe!
- Awarded to Gabriel M.Heartbeat Award Travel + Leisure Kas 2019 Gabe was a wonderful team player today (11/7). When I arrived this morning my computer monitors weren't working. I reached out to Anil and he asked Gabe to stop up when he could. Very quickly he was at my desk troubleshooting, looking everything over, listening to the challenges I was having and found the problem. I was back up and running so fast! Can't thank him enough for his quick response to get me back to work. Thanks so much Gabe!!
- Awarded to Gabriel M.Heartbeat Award Travel + Leisure Kas 2019 Gabriel was working the Tech Hub when I came by needing help with my laptop. It was very busy but he patiently greeted everyone who arrived and politely provided wait time and options. At the same time, he was efficient in working through challenges brought to him. The customer service exceeded my expectations and left everyone with a smile, even if the news wasn't great. And he resolved my issues to the best of his tools and it wasn't an easy one. He represents our IT brand very well.
- Awarded to Gabriel M.Heartbeat Award Travel + Leisure Eki 2019 I thought my laptop had stopped working and not knowing who to go to, I went down to the fifth floor and stopped by Gabriel's as he had previously assisted me with a laptop for a new hire, hoping he could direct me to someone who could help me fix my laptop issue. Instead, Gabriel actually went above and beyond and solved my issue for me. He restarted, hit some buttons, and got me back on my way, even though he didn't have to. Thank you so much Gabriel! I really appreciate all of your help!
- Awarded to Gabriel M.Heartbeat Award Travel + Leisure Eyl 2019 During the outages caused by hurricane Dorian, the team stepped up and worked from home to support the needs of all our employees. Even though the office was closed they did a tremendous job doing whatever possible to keep our users up and running. This work was very appreciated by all, thank you team for being customer obsessed!
