Meet the GRID HQ Team
Our mission is to serve our global GRID community and help create wealth opportunities for everyone in our network.
While our official headquarters is located in Reston, Virginia, we get the job done from our home cities around the world, including Ohio, Virginia, The Philippines, and Costa Rica.
We believe in the magic of purpose, the spirit of teamwork, and the power of long-term relationships. Everything we do and build revolves around our mission, vision, and values.
