The Front Seat with Federico Kochlowski
Rooted in Community
Being rooted in a community means more than having a place to work – it means being part of something larger than ourselves. At MBUSI, caring for our community is woven into who we are. It shows up in how we support one another, how we give back, and how we take pride in caring for our Alabama community.
Over the years, our Team Members have shared their time, talent, and heart to help others. Whether it’s mentoring students, volunteering locally, or supporting families in need, those efforts have strengthened the same communities that strengthen us.
As we reflect on nearly 30 years here in Alabama, one thing is clear: when we give back, we grow stronger. Our roots aren’t just in the work we do, but in the people, relationships, and shared purpose that connect us all.
Values Make US Stronger
As we look ahead on our challenges and opportunities in 2026, it’s worth taking a moment to reflect on what guides us – the principles that shape how we lead, work, and support one another. At MBUSI, values aren’t something we revisit only during milestones. They’re present in the everyday decisions that define how we operate.
Welcome Back: Looking Ahead to a New Year Together
Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year! As I look back at last year, I want to thank you for the pride in your work and the culture you helped create.
Wishing You a Happy Holiday Season
As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to wish you all a happy holiday – this is my favorite time of year!
Grateful for You
As we approach Thanksgiving, this time of year naturally brings a moment to pause and reflect. At MBUSI, what I am most grateful for is how we show up for one another with commitment, integrity, and care. The way you bring our values to life each day is something I appreciate deeply.

Building Culture Through Listening
Culture doesn’t come from one person. It’s built by all of us at MBUSI, in the way we work, listen, and treat one another every day. It’s what turns a group of people into a team and gives purpose to the work we do.
