If you're ever having a bad day, go visit Ashley Tannert. It's hard to find a more optimistic, positive and friendly colleague; spend a few minutes talking with Ashley and I promise you'll be in a better mood. Since joining the JMP Division in April of 2019, Ashley has created countless memorable in-person and virtual (especially of late) events for our users and prospects. In June, Ashley starts a new adventure, moving into a position on the JMP Inside Sales team. (Guess you could add adventurous to the long list of Ashley's qualities!)
When she’s not delighting JMP customers, Ashley can be found volunteering, traveling or spending time with her daughter. Read on for more fun facts about Ashley.

Ashley, you did NOT drive me nuts and are always a pleasure to work with....am certain you will be hugely successful in your new role--they are so lucky to have you on the inside sales team!
And yes to lunch with the Queen!!
So glad to learn more about you, and pick up a new podcast recommendation. I look forward to working with you more once you join the Inside Sales team.
Wow - one of my favorite people, ever! So blessed to have you in my life - to call a colleague and a friend! Everything in the opening paragraph is spot on!! She can definitely bring a smile, or a good laugh, to anyone! JMP/SAS is so lucky to have you!!!
You hit the nail right on the head with that lead-in about Ashley. She is indeed optimistic, positive, friendly, brave and oh so much more. I'm going to miss having her on our floor in building A, but I know our prospects and customers are going to love getting to work with her!
