People of Perficient: Meet Inna Suarez, Senior Project Manager

I recently connected with one of our senior project managers, Inna Suarez, to discuss what it’s like to serve Perficient’s healthcare clients. We discussed what Inna values most about Perficient’s culture and her team. I loved hearing Inna’s thoughts on what makes the Perficient community special, and I’m sure you will too.

Inna, thank you so much for joining me today. Can you tell me a bit about how you serve our clients? 

I’m a senior project manager and Scrum master, currently working with one of the largest health insurers in the United States.

With extensive knowledge of both Waterfall and Agile methodologies, I help our client to deliver high visibility projects, while keeping them on track and on budget.

My typical day would start on a Scrum call with my team to discuss goals for the day, blockers, and dependencies. The rest of the day is usually filled with various meetings to ensure the team stays on track. As a Scrum master, I work to raise Agile awareness across teams, share best practices, and educate those who are not familiar with Agile yet.

What do you value most about your community and responsibilities at Perficient?

I like how the healthcare unit has built a community of professionals who are both knowledgeable about healthcare and willing to share their knowledge with other team members.

I value the people on my team. I am very proud to be surrounded by smart, enthusiastic, and creative individuals.

While working with our clients, I value helping them solve day to day problems, and build quality solutions. I also like the ability to wear different hats (project manager, Scrum master, Agile coach, etc.).

What do you value most about Perficient’s culture?

I like that Perficient challenges me to learn learn new things. Above all, I like to meet new people and make new friends. Perficient gives me the opportunity to work with different clients and take on new projects. I value that Perficient creates an inclusive environment that attracts talent of any age, race, gender, etc.

Perficient makes you feel like you have a home where you can always go to your peers for advice, guidance, or feedback.
