Corbitt: Hey everyone, it’s Corbitt and Hadley with Anderson Technologies coming at you with another edition of Byte-Size Tech. This is episode three of our three-part series on the internet. I gotta say, it’s a fast one today, so don’t blink or you might miss it.

Hadley: With that, let’s get started. A lot of our clients are growing businesses. We love that for them, because it means they’re hiring more employees, they’re having a greater impact in their community, and they’re helping people. However, we always want to make sure that amidst that growth, they’re upgrading their internet to support it.

Corbitt: Exactly. An example of this would be if there was a company that had 35 employees, and they had an internet connection installed to support those 35 employees. But now, they’re doing great and they’ve got 80 employees. They’ve over doubled in size! We’re super happy for them, but if they’re still using that same internet connection, that means there’s double the amount of laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones, you name it, that are all tapping into that same internet connection. So essentially, you have the same size pie, just more people wanting a slice.

Hadley: And no one wants to sacrifice their slice!

Corbitt: Especially not at Thanksgiving.

Hadley: Corbitt wasn’t joking, that’s all we have for you. Hopefully you didn’t blink and miss it.

Corbitt: Thank you so much for tuning in for this three-part series. We’re gonna have plenty more videos coming your way. Be sure to tune in when you see them!

In 2022, Hadley and her husband Corbitt decided to return to St. Louis to join the family business. As part of the second generation, Hadley brought fresh perspectives from her time at AT&T and was drawn to helping the company grow the right way by implementing scalable systems and processes, while maintaining the core value-centric culture.
 
As a Project Manager, Hadley facilitated technical projects and the development of interdepartmental playbooks while gaining a deep understanding of the inner workings of the business operations. Now, as the Project Management Lead, Hadley is known for her driven, process-oriented leadership and her dedication to finding solutions for every challenge no matter how daunting it may first seem.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, and raised in Malaysia and St. Louis, Corbitt developed a unique global perspective. He graduated from Randolph-Macon College with a degree in Political Science and Spanish where he was a member of the men’s basketball team.

Before joining Anderson Technologies, Corbitt built a successful career at AT&T which initially started in the B2B Sales Development Program – a highly-competitive sales training where he was stack-ranked against his 100+ peers based on quota attainment to determine where in the company one was placed. In Chicago, as part of the National Fiber Organization, he became a top-performing sales professional, selling AT&T’s fiber, networking, and cybersecurity services and learning the value of relationship building, perseverance, and grit. Later, as a Senior Sales Solutions Engineer at AT&T headquarters in Dallas, he refined his technical expertise, leadership skills, and consulting abilities.

Currently pursuing his MBA at Washington University in St. Louis, Corbitt blends strategic thinking, technical knowledge, and a client-first approach to help Anderson Technologies continue serving companies and organizations across the country.
