How do you define success?

After years and years in big international agencies with many awards won, I now know that true success is not a Cannes Lions, but a client who tries to make a difference in the world calling me, to tell me their sales have improved and therefore they can support more people in need with what they do. Making a difference in the world and helping the good guys be seen and grow is the best feeling!

Tell us about a professional goal you have made strides towards this year.

We are hoping to work more and more remotely. Not only because of the pandemic, but also because the world is where we draw inspiration from. Being able to travel the world while working with the most inspiring people would be my goal.

Tell us about a time you took a risk at work.

Leaving my successful career in advertising, working with big clients all around the world to start my own business with a focus on ethical and sustainable brands was super scary. But despite all the difficulties also very rewarding and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Tell us about a time you showed compassion at work.

Compassion and empathy are constant companions in our work. Understanding people's why and reason for doing what they do and accepting them for who they are is the foundation of good work.

What advice would you like to share with the next generation?

Stand by your values. Care about what you do and who you do it with. And mostly, take care of yourself first. As exciting and important this job might look, it's all just work. Your life and health and people matter more!
