Our Chief Panda Officer, always near the genesis of an inspired idea (or cocktail), often recalls Marcel Proust’s wit for answering Victorian parlor game questions. Pixel has traveled far from the salons of Paris, but her interest remains piqued in which questions truly reflect a person’s character. Packing just the right amount of punch, NJI created The Pixel Questionnaire to give a glimpse into the inner workings of some of our most intriguing minds.

Senior Vice President of Finance Sarah Fritz joined Pixel for a brisk morning ride to share a little more about what makes her tick. After, our thoughtful Chief Panda Officer drew an epic bubble bath for our beloved numbers guru and bribed a particularly adorable toddler with a loaf of delicious challah.
