What our employees say Employee Quotes I’m committed to advancing a work environment defined by each individual feeling authentically valued and empowered to realize their full potential. Vaco has an opportunity, as well as a responsibility, to lead change in this area, and I’m delighted to be involved. Ina Dwyer Managing Director, Pursuit Enablement Center My heart was touched by the white, Asian, Muslim, LatinX, and LBGTQ people who peacefully protested with me on their knees out of love for the Black community. Together we will bridge the gap and encourage others to love their neighbors as they love themselves.
