Notarize Blog

Notarize has grown by leaps and bounds in the past year, but at the heart and soul of it all, we’re still the same company. That means we’re still hard at work building the very best online notarization platform – one that supports the needs of industries, while creating opportunities for notaries everywhere.

Season #2 Episode #8: Featuring Courtney Margossian

This week at Notarize, we’re joined by Courtney Margossian, our very own Director of Marketing.

If you asked me a year ago what makes a good programmer, I would have said someone who went to MIT and can write out Dijkstra’s algorithm from scratch. (Note that at the time of writing this article, I had to look up how to pronounce this algorithm).

There are decades when nothing happens and then there are years when decades happen. We are in the midst of such a moment right now. Years worth of change and innovation has been compressed into mere months - and Notarize is on the forefront of that rapid change. In 2020, the world rushed to digitize. Transactions that used to happen in person now needed to happen online. Online commerce ballooned, and industries from real estate to automotive, from financial services to family law, needed to transition how deals get done. Yet these deals cannot be completed without trust and, importantly, identity verification.

Season #2 Episode #6: Featuring Nicole Booth

This week at Notarize, we’re joined by our Executive Vice President of Public Affairs, Nicole Booth. Nicole joined Notarize in August 2020, and has been at the forefront of the RON movement by building coalitions and advocating for RON legislation nationwide.

These are exciting times at Notarize. After a very successful 2020, the first quarter of 2021 has been defined by our teams hiring like mad – Sales, Engineering, Finance, you name it. Our recruiting team is logging about 75 phone screens per week, and there’s one question we’re always asked: “How has the transition to fully-remote been for Notarize?”

Season #2 Episode #5: Featuring Jacqueline Phillips

Notarize Executive Vice President Nicole Booth also contributed to the content in this article.

March is Women’s History Month, and 2021 has given us so much to celebrate. Kamala Harris has brought us one step closer to breaking a glass ceiling by becoming the first woman Vice President. We’re also seeing a record number of women leading Fortune 500 companies, and others are making significant, lasting contributions in our most important economic sectors. 

Season #2 Episode #4: Featuring Renée Hunter

On the fourth episode of this season Renée Hunter joins us to discuss an eventful first year as Notarize General Counsel. She discusses the unique needs and expectations of her role, how 2020 changed the trajectory of her Legal roadmap, and how she navigates the tug of war between rapid growth and risk management.

And since March is Women’s History Month, we asked Renée about the women who have made an indelible mark on her career.
