Employee Recognition: Meet This Quarter's Icon Award Winners

Culture at ThoughtSpot isn't something we put on a poster. It's visible in how we actually operate—the calls we make under pressure, how we show up for each other, and the instinct to put customers first even when it's hard.

Selfless Excellence has always been the standard. It's our driving force; a reminder that dreaming bigger, moving faster, and winning is who we are. The Icon Awards put names and faces to that standard by recognizing Spotters who don't just deliver, but raise the bar for everyone around them. 

Here's what our Q3 2026 winners had to say:

Trust Icon Winner: Kat Guevara, Manager, Strategic Finance

"Receiving this award is truly an honor and a meaningful reminder of what drives great work. In my role, I work closely with data and financial models where accuracy and truth are everything—and I've come to see trust as the natural extension of that. 

When the numbers are honest, decisions are better, and when people trust each other, teams thrive. I deeply believe trust is the foundation of any true collaboration and partnership, and I'm grateful to be part of a team that embodies this value every day at ThoughtSpot."

Innovation Icon Winner: Genevieve Connolly, Director of Accounting

"Winning the Icon Award for Innovation is incredibly meaningful because it recognizes the value of creative problem-solving, especially in the finance space. I’m proud to work with leadership and a company that gives us the space to iterate, test new ideas, and learn through trial and error. 

Most importantly, true innovation is a team sport; collaborating, sharing ideas, and building on each other’s strengths is what ultimately made this recognition possible."

Intensity Icon Winner: Sophie Herring, Talent Acquisition Partner

"I am deeply honored to receive this global award, especially having joined the company just three months ago during a high-pressure hiring period in EMEA. Navigating that busy time by taking things day by day, it feels incredibly rewarding to have my efforts recognised so early on. 

I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me settle in and support me, or a better leadership team to work with. I am so grateful to be part of such a collaborative culture and look forward to what we will accomplish next!"

Customer Obsession Winner: Siddhant Rohela, Product Manager

"I'm thrilled to receive the Icon Award! To me, customer obsession is just about putting ourselves in the users' shoes, understanding their pains and trying to make their days a little easier. 

Huge thanks to my amazing team and colleagues who have always helped me along the way, and who care about the success of our customers just as much as I do. Excited to keep doing what we do!"
