Who is Cézanne?
Fearless in her pursuit for success and excellence, and committed to transformation, Cézanne is known to not follow the pack.
Named after the French painter, Cézanne likes to think she is a bit creative too, and is quite the artist when drawing transaction diagrams. She is also known for thinking on her feet; literally, and can often be found walking around the office barefoot.
