Bridging gaps and building castles. 🏰 Meet Casey.
As a Digital Deployment Manager, Casey, makes sure everyone works together seamlessly to build something amazing. He likens it to constructing a LEGO® castle with friends. Together with his colleagues, he’s one of the super-helpers who plans and organises our resources.
“Developing our own digital tools with key stakeholders in the room is vital as we constantly look to evolve our ways of working to set ourselves up for success in the future. That’s kind of what my role is all about. Bridging the gap between different stakeholders I work with in the US, Canada and Latin America, and our Product teams responsible for delivering quality solutions.
“Day to day, this involves cross-functional collaboration, setting expectations, and crafting clear deployment plans focused on a people-first approach.”
“The expertise of our team extends beyond product development into comprehensive process management. We do our best to prioritise understanding the purpose and expectations of each tool before it’s released, emphasising the ‘why’ and ‘how’ to ensure successful implementation.”
One aspect Casey found exciting was the sheer diversity of skills within his team. But he had plenty of other reasons to join us besides this.
“I came here mainly because of where I am in my life; I’ve recently married with plans to start a family in the not-so-distant future. Having worked in small tech startups, I wanted a stable environment where I could also prioritise life outside of work. The focus on work-life balance, continuous improvement, and professional development was exactly what I was looking for.”
“I soon learned that everything you hear about the LEGO culture, leadership, and mission is true. The transparency and involvement in decision-making are unmatched. My leader has been incredibly supportive, encouraging me to try new things and providing guidance based on his experience with the company.”
Innovation is an ever-present need in Casey’s role.
“The most exciting project I've been part of has been supporting the definition of our tool deployment process. My role was only introduced a couple of years ago. This means I have the freedom to shape it according to the unique needs of our region. Fluidity helps when you’re developing a process from start to finish. It’s been incredibly energising.”
“There’s a genuine level of trust and respect too. Even if it leads to failure, we’re encouraged to experiment. That makes being here all-the-more exciting.”
“The most challenging aspect of my role is understanding the complexities of a plethora of homegrown and third-party solutions that support various functions. On top of that, having a solid foundational understanding of what each function does is essential for successful deployments.”
Casey also points to the spirit of outside-the-box thinking that thrives here.
“Even if it leads to failure, we’re encouraged to experiment too. That makes being here all-the-more exciting. There’s a genuine level of trust and respect too, for personal needs and the freedom to prioritise life outside of work. This makes focusing on my role easier, knowing I have the flexibility to address life’s demands when needed.”
So does he ever get to play himself - and what does the future hold?
“One of the most fun moments at LEGO was volunteering at our International Day of Play celebration. Seeing children play with our products and experiencing our "Learning through play" mantra in action was an unforgettable experience. It was a day that allowed me to see firsthand the impact of what we do here.”
“As we prepare for our US Hub relocation to Boston, I’m excited about the opportunities ahead. You can feel the energy in our office and there's a shared vision for the future. The LEGO Group does an incredible job of helping us imagine new possibilities and encouraging us to bring our ideas to life.”
