A Background in Corporate Accounting
Briana started her career working in sales for a Denver-based cruise company, but was quickly tasked with managing the organization’s books when its owners learned she’d worked part time during college for a CPA firm. That was the start of her accounting career, which took her from Red Robin Gourmet Burgers to Western Union Company, where she worked as part of both companies’ corporate accounting teams. In 2007, Briana moved to NTT America, the U.S. arm of Japan-based information and communications technology company NTT Group, as an accounting manager. After the company merged with Verio, she briefly joined a sales training company as an accounting manager before coming to TGRP in 2015.
