The best experiences in my job
WeWork is in hyper-growth. We double our member base every year. Successfully entering markets and running advertising campaigns across so many European languages and cultures (even some I don’t know), makes me very proud.
How I found my current job
I was headhunted after already working in the startup industry in NYC for a couple of years.

Hard skills like basics in marketing, statistical measurement and legal basics. As well as soft skills like cross-cultural management.

About my job
My job requires me to be very numbers and detail focused whilst not losing focus of the bigger picture. Working in a hyper-growth startup means you currently need to think about new/better ways of approaching tasks. It is a very challenging but rewarding work environment that offers you to learn very fast.
