About 828
The name Eight Twenty-Eight carries multiple meanings, all converging on a central theme: “New power gained through trial and testing.” We chose this name to symbolize the balance between reaching the peak of our professional potential and recognizing the sacrifices and challenges required to get there. At Eight Twenty-Eight, we embrace transformational leadership through attentive listening, bold courage, and purposeful action.
