For more than 8 years, Emily Smith has helped build Wemert Group Realty, an 80-person independent teamerage in which "team" is as much a culture and set of commitments as it is a business model.

Though Emily’s held just two titles, Marketing Director and COO, she's served in many roles and initiated many projects.

By watching, you’ll develop a picture that a) you need an intrapreneur in your growing company and b) that person may already be a team member.
