There have been many moments in my life that have made me pause, re-think my values, and shaped who I am today. One of those moments was when I started my business, which led me to discover parts of myself I didn’t know existed. The main one was my self-discipline. I’ve been impressed by my own dedication and motivation to keep things moving. This self-discipline has also helped with my running and other areas of my life, such as building a successful career in marketing and advertising in a foreign country where I didn’t know anyone. I only fully recognised this after starting my own business.

​

I’ve also come to understand the kind of work and environment that truly motivates me. Unfortunately, in my previous marketing job, after six years of hard work, I experienced burnout. I began to question my purpose and realised that my time in advertising agencies was coming to an end as I had lost touch with my purpose and values. I needed time to reflect and decide on my next steps. I discovered that I want to work on meaningful projects. By this, I don’t necessarily mean charity work, but rather making a difference in people’s lives. For example, Apple excels at helping people stay fit, work, enjoy music, and keep up with the latest news – they help make life easier for their users while generating profit. They create real solutions to real problems, which is why I decided to turn into product management.

​

It’s really important to me that I work for a company that aligns with my values. I would love to work for an organisation that truly cares about people—putting people before policy. An organisation that offers support. Creativity and making mistakes should be part of the process, as we evolve and grow through these experiences. I want to be part of a company whose products make a genuine difference in people’s lives, and where users are always prioritised.

The organisation and its leaders should value flexibility—no clock-watching, just pure trust that people will get their work done. They should understand that life happens and flexibility is essential. That’s why I’m looking for flexible roles.

I believe in DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and I never realised how much mothers suffer from discrimination, which is one of the drivers of the gender gap. For me, it’s crucial that DE&I isn’t just a tick-box exercise where I work. I want to see women, mothers, foreigners, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people of colour in senior roles.
