Grimm Perez, Co-Founder + Vice President, Corporate Values
Grimm is a pure-bred German Shepherd, and true to her breed, she is highly intelligent, loyal, confident, and courageous. She is strong-willed, determined, and speaks up for the things she believes in. She is gentle, sweet, and loves to make new friends, but she is also strong, fierce and never backs down from a fight when necessary. She loves her family and friends with intense devotion, and always makes sure everyone is safe and protected. In addition to inspiring our company’s name, she brings these values to the team and drives us to work fearlessly for the things we believe in and the communities and people we care about.
Most importantly, Grimm loves to have a good time. Her favorite activities including taking nature walks & hikes, playing fetch with a ball or frisbee at the park, and cuddling with her family at home. And who doesn’t love a tasty treat or a belly rub?
