The name behind the guide

Meet Pearl.

Trident’s voice is named for Pearl Shelton Chandler, our CEO’s great-grandmother. Family memory places her behind the controls of American tanks during World War II, moving them from factory ground toward the ships that carried them overseas.

A name with weight

She learned the machine and kept it moving.

Pearl was as American as they come: half Cherokee, half Shelton gang—an affectionate shorthand for roots, nerve, and a certain refusal to be underestimated. When wartime work called, she climbed into machines few people ever expected a woman to drive.

When the men were overseas fighting the war, Pearl did her part delivering tanks to our men. Pearl took responsibility for difficult work and moved it forward. That is why her name belongs to the Trident voice.

The human side of Trident

Our technology carries a family name for a reason.

Trident works with people, judgment, pressure, and unfinished jobs. Pearl reminds us that technology matters only when someone takes responsibility for what it helps move.

Today Pearl helps visitors talk through staffing gaps, hard-to-fill roles, and work that may be ready for AI. She can guide the conversation. The people at Trident remain accountable for the promise.
