Fiixer Friday: Meet Peter Solimon, Customer Success Manager & Weightlifter 🏋️

This week, we're shining the spotlight on Peter, our Customer Success Manager - Mid Market here at Fiix! To him, family will always be the most important thing in life, chicken wings will always be his go-to meal and he’d love to explore the culture and food in South America. ❤️Read on to get to know Peter. ❓What was your "I need to work at Fiix" moment?✨ There were 2 major draws to Fiix! The first was that Fiix is a mission-critical software bringing innovation to an industry that still has lots of space to grow! The second is Kurt Wissent (Fiix’s Regional Business Lead in the EMEA Region) and how passionately he spoke about Fiix. When Kurt found out that I was in the market, he reached out to introduce me to Fiix and before I stepped into the virtual "doors" of Fiix I reached out to a friend and colleague who joined Fiix a month later! One thing that Fiix does extremely well is grow the company through its network of Fiixers.❓Tell us something fun that you do in your spare time or
