#17: AWS-Only Mission Cloud Grows

Speaking of cloud and AWS, our feature on Mission Cloud Services, an Amazon Web Services-only partner, was a big hit with our Channel Futures audience this year.

We talked with Karoline Saffi, the company’s SVP of people and culture, in this Q&A. Among our questions, how confident is this MSP about navigating an economic downturn considering thousands of layoffs are in full swing at Amazon?

“At Mission, we have always been very data-driven, and we try to look ahead as much as possible to see how external factors will affect our plan and objectives,” she said. “This has caused us to be cautious and intentional with our hiring decisions in the good times as well as the hard times. We do our best to avoid having to lay off any staff if we can help it, so if that means hiring a little slower, we prefer to do that as we understand the impact those types of decisions can have on affected employees and their families, but also their communities.”
