TROY GRAY

Director of Puppy Placement

 

My role is to help guide my team to help our customers find their perfect puppy each and every day. I grew up in Morristown, New Jersey, a charming place just west of Manhattan. My childhood benefited from the constant presence of puppies, including a Saint Bernard, two Labs and a Pug who could more than hold his own. That early love of dogs has become a bit of an obsession, and now I am the proud papa of two miniature poodles, Blaze and Stormy. Prior to joining PuppySpot in 2022 I worked for HomeAdvisor, now Angi. In my free time, I am an amateur dog photographer, serve as a youth lacrosse official, run a fair amount, and play cards well enough to win a few.

Product Manager

 

Hi! I have been at PuppySpot for four years, serving in a product management role and loving it. I was born in Venezuela and now live in Colombia. Prior to joining the company, I worked for a range of telecom and IT startups. I have an MBA and BS, and a range of product and project management certificates. While I am proud of that, I am most proud of my family, my husband Alejandro, our sons Alejandro, David, and our beagle Tony Stark. When I have free time, which is not often, I calm down by doing yoga, I speed up by roller skating, and I get grounded by reading books on spirituality, psychology, and human purpose.

Controller

 

I first got introduced to PuppySpot as a customer, acquiring two delightful yorkies, Rowdy and Mr.King. I joined as our Controller in 2019. For those that don’t know, a Controller’s job is to make sure the finances of a company are well-managed and the company is in good financial health. And we are! Prior to PuppySpot I held similar roles at Sharp Electronics, Panasonic and Groupe SEB, a French company. I live in Nutley, New Jersey with my family. Oh, and I love salsa dancing. Don’t you?

Puppy Placement Manager

 

I grew up in Miami, Florida. I’ve been in sales virtually all my life, starting in car sales and eventually moving to the timeshare industry, where I first gained experience as a floor manager. In 2021, I found an opportunity to join PuppySpot, where I now work as a Puppy Placement Manager. I love everything I do here, coaching and motivating my team and helping puppies find their forever homes. I have a mini Goldendoodle named Lucy, and in my free time, I enjoy working on my cars as an amateur mechanic and spending time with my family.
