Farmer has spearheaded various initiatives that contributed to the company's operational excellence and client satisfaction, as exemplified by Roundtrip's top-tier 122% Net Revenue Retention in 2023.

"Since joining Roundtrip, I've seen our impact grow 10x, driving further network effects that fuel our mission to remove transportation as a barrier to wellbeing.
