| Cody, Allison, and Colette |
Cody Castelvecchi, the newest member of the Workday Support Team, had an unusual introduction to his UVAFinance teammates: his first week was the same time as UVAFinance Week.
“I’ve definitely not been inducted into a workplace like that before,” he laughs. Luckily enough, Castelvecchi enjoys being around lots of people, so he enjoyed the prolonged opportunity to meet his new team.
In addition to his Agile mindset, Castelvecchi has a diverse background and a deep passion for technology and education. After getting his degree in Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience, he pursued his career in organizations ranging from corporate Taco Bell, Mazda, and corporate Dollar Tree to Altria and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Although the experiences were eclectic, they were tied together by his passion for learning.
“I’m interested not in technology for technology’s sake, or data for data’s sake. Technology enables us to tell our stories and to figure out what the data is telling us,” he says, adding that his love of the possibilities inherent in his field is what drew him to UVA.
“It’s really refreshing to be in the academic environment, where people are focused on helping one another out; they want to learn more and be more informed,” he says.
Outside of work, Cody’s life is filled with family and fun. He's the proud father of his seven-year-old daughter, Colette, and he shares his passion for music with his fiancée, Allison, a UVA alum. Together, they enjoy attending concerts (recent acts they’ve seen include Zac Brown Band, Greensky Bluegrass, Dead & Company, Elton John, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, and The String Cheese Incident) and visiting local restaurants and breweries around Crozet. Cody loves to fly fish and prefers being outdoors if he can help it.
Welcome to the team, Cody!
