🎉 Celebrating One Year at Nexio - A Journey of Growth and Gratitude 🎉 As I hit the one-year mark at Nexio, I find myself reflecting on a journey that's been as much about personal growth as it has been about professional development. 🌱 Growth Beyond the Job Description This year has been a remarkable journey of learning and evolving. Beyond acquiring the skills and knowledge required for being a Customer Success Manager, I've discovered strengths and capabilities within myself that were previously unknown to me. I've learned to embrace challenges with a positive mindset and have realized that adaptability and resilience are just as important as technical skills in our ever-changing industry. 🙌 Leadership That Inspires I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and recognition to the outstanding leadership at Nexio, particularly to Adrienne Fusitua. Your guidance and steadfast support have been fundamental in my professional journey at Nexio 💪 Embracing Grit and Resilience This year has also been about embracing grit. There were challenges and moments of uncertainty, but facing them head-on has been incredibly rewarding. It's in these moments that I've learned the most about myself and the value of perseverance. 🌟 Looking Ahead As I look forward to another year at Nexio, I am excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. I am committed to continuing this journey of growth, contributing to our team's success, and making a positive impact. #workanniversary #nexio #payments #growth

When I was at Southern Methodist University SMU Cox School of Business , The SMU Cox Caruth Institute For Entrepreneurship I learned a life-transforming lesson from one of my favorite professors - the late Bill Bartles. Besides being a brilliant mind, an exceptionally successful entrepreneur, a great teacher, an incredibly kind and brave person, he was the most inspiring person I have met in my life. ( If you have had the privilege to attend a lecture by Professor Bartles you will understand why I said what I said). Professor Bartles told us a story through a case study about how an entrepreneur build a wildly successful business WITHOUT A SINGLE EMPLOYEE. HE ONLY USED GIG WORKERS. As he unpacked the essence of the case study, Professor Bartles told us - "The most powerful tool in your toolkit is your rolodex." ( If there are any young people reading this post, this is where you google rolodex.) 25 years of lived experience in the tech industry has proven this to be true. Whenever I am in any situation, I am consciously or unconsciously aware of people who move me with their brilliance. And when I witness this brilliance, it goes into my rolodex. Sometimes, there are moments in the future, when I need to add greatness to my team. This is when I ask my rolodex of greatness for a referral. It rarely fails me. One of my rolodex's greatest successes has been Anuradha Aravindh Raj. I was a speaker at Jamie Kriegel's Scrum Masters of the Universe webinar. Anu was my host. I noticed how Anu took care of every little detail with love, kindness, grace, humor, integrity and a relentless, uncompromising commitment to her customers. "WOW!" I thought to myself. "I am witnessing greatness." She automatically went into my rolodex of greatness. A few months later, I had an opening at a client. Before I posted the opening on a job board, I asked my rolodex who might be a good fit. The answer was Anu. Asked her if she was available. She said yes. It clicked and the rest is history. 2 key lessons... 1. For those who lack joy in their work life - go where you are celebrated, don't stay where you are tolerated. Go where you can be your naturally great self, even if it is a volunteer position. 2. For everyone - there is greatness in front of our eyes wherever we go, we just need to be present to it. Where do you get to be great? Where have you witnessed greatness and added it to your rolodex? Thanks Anuradha Aravindh Raj. Here's to the next 6 months and hopefully many more years together.

I must admit I sometimes may forget about this, and I may wrongly tell my team exactly what to do and how to do it. Being transparent about our errors, and showing we are human, and that we make mistakes that we do wish to correct, allows the people to tell us freely and openly when we are pushing way too hard and when we should moderate ourselves. #micromanaging is not a safe nor a comfortable way to work. Trust your team and say no to #micromanagement, you will see better results when people are able to work with freedom and cool guidelines. Listen to them, work side by side with them, support them as much as possible but let them breathe first 😁💙 #zeiss #teamwork #weareallone #keeplearning #keepgrowing

So that was it, my first week at #TRAFINEO. I am happy and grateful having had a great start and having felt very welcomed. 🙏 And how was it? Doing lots of mails? Sitting at my desk reading into documents? Preparing my strategy for TRAFINEO's IT? 📄 None of the above! I am a firm believer that listening is a master asset for every leader. So I spend my first days sitting with people and listening to their stories, getting to know them also from a personal perspective and learning about their views, believes and dreams about themselves and #TRAFINEO. And this surely will continue over the next days and weeks. 💬 It reminds me of an interview of Marissa Mayer: She started her job at Yahoo sitting in the cafeteria talking with people rather than presenting her strategy to the company. (How could you do that if you have not sufficient information about the company, right?) ☕ Eventually, nature gave us two ears and one mouth; a constant reminder that we should listen more and talk less. 👂👂👄 How would you start a new role? Do you think the approach above is right? 🤔❓

Ever thought about the benefits of choosing a 0-1 team over a larger tech company? Here's why I took on a 0-1 role at inFeedo, and it turned out to be a game-changer: ✨ Direct Impact: In a small team, every contribution counts. You can see the tangible impact of your work on the company's success and growth. 🔄 Diverse Roles: Being part of a 0-1 team allows for wearing many hats and gaining experience across multiple areas. It’s an amazing opportunity for learning and personal growth. 🤝 Close-Knit Culture: Working closely with a small team fosters stronger relationships and a supportive environment. It's like a tight-knit sports team that encourages open communication and collaboration. ⚡ Flexibility and Agility: Smaller teams can pivot quickly and adapt to changes efficiently. This fast-paced environment keeps you engaged and excited about what’s coming next. 💡 Creative Freedom: In a 0-1 team, there's more room to innovate and experiment with ideas. This freedom fuels passion and drives innovative thinking. Choosing a 0-1 team can be one of the best career decisions! The experience and growth opportunities are truly unmatched. 🙌 If you've ever considered the idea of working with a small team, these unique advantages might just convince you. #CareerGrowth #SmallTeamAdvantages #0To1Journey

🚀 My space-ranger Capturi seat has catapulted 💺☄ 🧑🚀 I joined the "ship" 3+ years ago with a defined mission of boosting the rocketship to take off and begin a 3-4 year journey with the objective: Help build the leading Scandinavian conversational AI company. We had lift-off! Big Time! 🚀 The Capturi captains have just pressed the “release button” 🔘 for my seat, and I am now just grateful to have been able to make a meaningful impact while on the journey almost from the very start and have been able to excel at the same time personally & professionally! Below are some breakdowns of the overall objective (and results of the dedicated effort): - Shape, build, and lead an industry-leading “Team Sales” from the ground up to a multi-office Nordic team with a strong winning and thriving culture ✅ ("Team Sales", is the evidence that we succeeded) - Creating “love story” like customer journeys 🥰 ✅ (Current; 71,3 NPS and “high performer” on G2) - Take massive “altitude” on revenue ✅ (reaching 2023 target🔥🎯 with 80% growth) - My hidden mission from time of investing in this journey: Contribute meaningfully to the journey and learn. ✅ (Evidence in the screenshots below from the Captains in Capturi 👨✈️👨✈️, as I signed off the company slack channel) Capturi is still growing and developing and I am rooting from the sidelines, big time! So what now:  I shot for the moon, and I am now released somewhere among the stars 🤩Ready to look for new adventures within sales / commercial management! I have not yet landed my next adventure, but some very promising opportunities are in clear sight 🔭,  - still, if you feel like it 🙏 , share/like or send me coordinates to other cool rockets nearby that need a Head of Sales / Sales Director / CSO / Space Ranger 👨🚀 to boost their journey. Thank you Capturi’ans for the exciting journey. Now “To infinity and beyond" (Quote from Buzz Lightyear).  🛰️🔭👨🚀🚀

✨ Last Working Day at sennder ✨ I am filled with a mix of emotions: gratitude for the journey, pride in the achievements, peace and readiness for the new path. Reflecting on my time here, I am thankful for the chance to be a part of a forward-thinking organization, shaping the future of logistics. This work allowed me to learn, try, take risks, make my own decisions, accept responsibility, find solutions, and grow. From the moment of my first interview, I saw open-minded people who always try to do their best: smart, dedicated, and supportive colleagues. On the other side, I was honored to work with a number of great customers from whom I also gained invaluable experience. 📚 My Top 3 Lessons: - Keep on Trucking: Change is constant. Embrace it and act with what you have, be brave and do your best. - Customers First: Always think about the customer—their view, needs, and situation. Looking from this angle fosters collaboration. - Run the Extra Mile: Always keep learning, try new things, meet new people, and see new places — broaden your horizon. As I say goodbye to sennder, I extend my thanks to everyone I had the pleasure meeting. It's been an incredible experience, and I wish nothing but success to all individuals and organizations I collaborated with. Good luck and keep on trucking! 🚚 #Farewell #sennder #KeepOnTrucking #CustomerFirst #NewBeginnings #NextAdventure
