Faces of Unity – Brent Caverly
Any interesting jobs before working at Unity that led you to where you are today?
I’ve had quite the career journey. I used to be a hairstylist and got to meet the likes of Nelly Furtado, Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek for the win!), Jamie Oliver (who has a very specific breakfast he likes to eat), and a few others. But, I realized it wasn’t the industry for me and wanted something that gave me more of a work-life balance, because working weekends and holidays is no fun. I ended up working for a couple startups which brought me into the tech space, and then I found Unity and haven’t looked back.
What are your favorite things about Unity?
The people, for one. Everybody is so nice, welcoming, and willing to help. It doesn’t matter who they are or where they are, everyone has been kind and helpful when I needed it. For my favorite Unity value, I would normally say In It Together because I truly believe teamwork makes the dream work, however, I’m actually going to say Go Bold. I love that you can have a big, outside-the-box idea and people really listen. Often, that initiative is implemented. It’s okay if it doesn’t work, but there’s an openness to trying things.
