# Tangram Ten // Javier Mayer
We're excited to introduce the newest addition to our team: **Javier Mayer**, who joins Tangram as our Human Resources Generalist. With years of recruiting experience and a personality that perfectly matches our vibrant company culture, Javier brings fresh energy and expertise to our growing organization.
## Getting to Know Javier
Javier comes to us from the luxury cannabis industry, where he honed his skills as a Talent Acquisition Specialist. Originally from Downey and now calling the eclectic city of Long Beach home, he brings a unique blend of professional experience and personal flair that we know will resonate with our team.
What makes Javier special? Beyond his six years of recruiting expertise across various industries, he's someone who knows how to connect with people. Whether he's building professional relationships or entertaining friends with his signature choreographed karaoke performance of "Close to You" by The Carpenters, Javier understands the importance of authentic human connections.
## Beyond the Resume
In true Tangram fashion, we love team members who bring their whole selves to work. Javier's fun facts certainly don't disappoint:
- He appeared on a reality dating show in his twenties (ask him about it if you dare) - His go-to karaoke song involves full choreography - He's adventurous enough to have tried red fire ants (they taste citrusy, apparently) - Halloween is his absolute favorite holiday
When asked about his dream party, Javier didn't hesitate: a Halloween-themed celebration with the three hitchhiking ghosts from Disneyland's Haunted Mansion as guests of honor.
## What Javier Brings to Tangram
Javier's professional skills are impressive, but it's his approach to work that truly excites us. He's passionate about:
- **Relationship Building**: Six years of recruiting has taught him the art of connecting with people at all levels - **Project Management**: He thrives when juggling multiple priorities and deadlines - **Team Advocacy**: Javier sees himself as a champion for the Tangram team - **Bilingual Communication**: "Y también hablo español, así que aquí estoy para ustedes"
## Looking Forward
What's Javier most excited about in his new role? The opportunity to both share his knowledge and continue learning alongside what he calls "a top-tier team." He's heard wonderful things about Tangram's culture, and we're confident he'll both contribute to and thrive in our collaborative environment.
As we continue to grow and evolve, having someone with Javier's combination of professional expertise and genuine personality is invaluable. His ability to build relationships, manage complex projects, and advocate for our team aligns perfectly with our values and goals.
**Welcome to the team, Javier!** We're thrilled to have you aboard and can't wait to see the positive impact you'll make on our organization and culture.
