Summary
When technology, creativity and content meet, wonderful things can happen. This is where I thrive. I enjoy working in creative companies with the goal to build towards strategic, business and product objectives. I approach topics from a data-centered angle and enjoy solving complex and conceptually challenging puzzles through cross-functional collaboration and deliberation. My personal objective is to be the driver of sustainable value for both user and business. I have a passion for creative content and I always want to work at a company that touches the hearts and minds of millions of users.
