Employee Spotlight: Trevor Ewigleben

In your words, what is your role at Trava.

My job here at Trava is basically to have conversations with people, see where they are in their cybersecurity and cyber insurance journeys, where they want to be, and then help determine the best ways to fill that gap.

Describe Trava in 3 words.

To boil it down into three words is really difficult. I would have to say family, fun, and dedicated because we treat each other like family, we like to have a really good time, but we're also dedicated to our client's success.

Where is your happy place?

So I would say my happy place, a couple years ago, I would've said it was in a bungalow down in Aruba. That's been my happy place for a long time. But since getting married, since adopting three little ones, my happy place now is wherever they are.

What has been your favorite project at Trava?

Our internal project called Travathon. And with that, we were looking at the future of the company coming up, brainstorming ideas as a team. And what was really cool for me to see was that no matter how big or small an idea came or an idea was or where it came from, it was strongly considered.

Cats or dogs?

Dogs.

What advice would you provide to someone interested in your field?

Don't be afraid to pick up the phone. You never know what somebody is going to say. In my field, not just within cybersecurity, but within sales in general, don't be afraid to have tough conversations.
