Is there any recent branded entertainment you love?
Lexus product placements. Especially within the Marvel universe and other action movies. It’s old and recent, the placements are ongoing.
What TV series are you in love with?
At the moment I am re-watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D but this past year Wednesday on Netflix caught my attention.
What was your first job?
A software developer actually. I only later transitioned to marketing. The difference is huge between the two, but it contributed a lot to my analytical point of view, the “there is nothing we can’t do” approach and innovation.
What does a typical work day look like for you?
I always start with an hour in bed with the kids, then coffee, school and get started. I try to schedule all my meetings in the morning time, so I can free up the afternoon for productive work sessions. I mostly focus on content development, and demand generation. My days are dynamic so the queue of tasks changes all the time. This is possible thanks to the amazing benefits of working from home.
What are three words to describe you?
Motivated, Dynamic, Accomplished.
