The video below is about my anniversary!

Last week was the 10th birthday of my dear friend, GEEK Up. I call it a friend because, for me, GU is not just a workplace but also a living entity with all sorts of emotions and thoughts. 🤗 5 years together: bumps, doubts, dreams diverging, me scrambling. Sometimes, I thought my growth rate couldn't keep up with your dreams. I doubted whether our dreams were in sync. But hey, still here, grinning! 🤝 Because I realized that best friends don't need to match - our differences paint our friendship's rainbow! And maturity blooms in its own ways. Yours and mine, like a forest, thrive with varied trees. Sometimes, the stumbles and setbacks can overshadow the incredible journey we've been on. 😍 - I rediscovered the amazing things we've built: dozens of digital products launched across diverse fields, from banking and finance to the frontier of cyber security and agriculture. - We’ve built a Product Design team that's not just skilled but forward-thinking, ready to harness the power of AI instead of fearing it. - We've fostered a culture of values within ourselves and our team that shines bright and guides us forward. - ... Shared laughter, late-night brainstorms, and triumphs that still make my heart skip a beat. May the next decade continue to grow older, bolder, and more magnificent together, side by side! 😘 #GEEKUp10thAnniversary #geekaholic #alexsjourney #worktogether #growtogether #staytogether #ASoaringOdyssey

🎼This one time in band camp… Being a band and colorguard mom for 12 years has shaped my approach in business and as a consultant for CPG brands far beyond my 25 years of industry experience. Here are three big takeaways: 1. Understanding Consumer Interactions: Watching people of all ages engage with various brands and products has given me invaluable insights into consumer behavior and preferences. 2. Translating Trends: Trends in music, dance, and performing arts often reflect broader cultural shifts. Recognizing these trends helps in predicting market movements and creating relevant products. 3. Observing Product Evolution: Even something as simple as water container trends over the years reveals much about consumer priorities and innovation. These experiences have also been deeply rewarding on a personal level. More importantly- A HUGE Congratulations to my daughter, Ella, for making colorguard captain! I am so proud of the leader and young woman you’ve become. 🥰🧡🖤🏳️ Want to know how to make your product one that every band kid and parent would want? No fancy word to “DM” Simply just message me! Oh and go ‘Noles!

I am Thankful because this is the 3rd time I am celebrating my birthday with my 2nd family - N.Rich. Grateful because I am now been handed over the opportunity to handle a new territory where I can learn more and hone my skills. Blessed as always because I get a chance to have another year to work with amazing and talented people. I would never pass on the challenge to become better everyday allowing myself to make mistakes and actually learn from it and experience it & make sure to not repeat it again. Same goes with selling - we tend to forget the basics of being a person our clients can talk to; allowing certain things to fall from the cracks and gaps. Not being able to fully understand what they want and need and not sharing honest solutions that we can collaborate on to reach common goals and objectives. How we become innately curious about their struggles and wins? How we just probe certain things that can benefit us without realizing that there is a root cause to all that? So if you are someone who is looking for an actual person to discuss what challenges you are facing within your targeting approach and if you recognize that there is a need for change without risking things that are already working - feel free to DM me. Let's talk! 😊 #NRichABM #ThankfulGratefulBlessed #JourneyJournal2

I wrote this a year ago: ''I did more research than on all of my boyfriends combined. I truly cared, and most importantly, throughout the entire process - I was my most flamboyant self. I was NOT applying for a job. I was committing to join a team, a tribe, a mission... I have so much more to say, but let’s keep it for the next post, shall we?'' It's time for that ''next post'' now. A year is a fairly long period of time, yet it passes by faster than a trust-fund baby in their daddy's Ferrari. Frankly, I don't have the time or the memory to list everything that happened. It's a start-up life, you know....every week you have a new job, name, identity. They say that after time passes, you don't remember the moments you experienced with someone, but you remember the feelings. Here is what I've felt ( btw feel free to use this list instead of a Thesaurus/ChatGPT for describing ''F-in awesome''): - Inspiration - ''Wow'' - ''I don't want to see you right now but, okay I will do this task as well'' (mostly reserved for my boss) - Togetherness/Unity/Teamwork - no mountain is high enough 🏔 - Complete exhaustion because you give your all and it is 100% worth it - Your blind faith and intuition, supported by your leaders - the feeling of knowing you hit the jackpot right then and there. Which brings me to the most important feeling - Trust. In my life, I have 100% trust only in myself and my family. But I do trust our leaders 100%. Because they know I have the Armenian gang waiting on the line in case things go not my way. 😉 Please don't expect such a love confession yearly - this is the only one. Happy 1 year anniversary to us. TrialHub and FindMeCure Moral of the story: if you do not feel what I feel in your workplace - consider a change. Internally and externally. #workplace #happyworkanniversary #happyworkplace #clinicaltrials #bestbossever #workculture #innovation #technology #healthtech #grateful

Congrats to BrightHire on an amazing year. A few takeaways: - Speed is the most important thing in a startup. BrightHire has shipped new products and features at a torrid pace this year, further enhancing the value it delivers to its users on a daily basis and opening itself up to new customer segments. BrightHire’s customers know that they have aligned themselves with a product that will continuously evolve and get better and that when they are told something is on the roadmap they can confidently expect to see it soon. - Deliver value to your customers before they are your customers. BrightHire receives a lot of love from its users for delivering on its promise of making them more effective at their jobs, but also, more uniquely, from their not yet users because they make valuable contributions to the the broader Talent Acquisition community. This works because BrightHire genuinely cares about pushing the world of Talent Acquisition forward. BrightHire manages a slack group of hundreds of TA professionals — both customers and non-customers — and consistently puts out high quality practical content. For example, BrightHire has been openly sharing fascinating proprietary interview intelligence data (eg how interviews are conducted and what is discussed and by whom) in an attempt to help TA practitioners and the industry as a whole level up. By not keeping this data private, BrightHire has become a name synonymous with data-driven professionalism in talent acquisition. Companies who produce significant amounts of data as a byproduct of their product’s usage should contribute that data to the broader industry discourse, thereby placing themselves at the forefront of the most interesting conversations taking place in their field. - New category creation happens slowly then quickly. When BrightHire first pioneered the domain of Interview Intelligence, there was a lot of market education to be done. But a few factors have led to an acceleration in momentum that only gets faster with time: (1) After 75 glowing reviews on G2 (4.8 stars) customer acquisition becomes a lot easier. Almost any prospect BrightHire engages with could reach out to a first degree connection and get a reference on the product, and it is always easier to take a peer’s word for it than a vendor’s. (2) One underreported SaaS metric is when your user moves from one company to another, how likely are they to bring your software with them — I would bet BrightHire is in the top 10% of all companies by this metric. As your number of customers grows and you’ve been in market longer you naturally start to see more of this behavior. (3) The market is way more aware of AI now and individual users have felt the magic of AI-powered experiences in their personal lives and crave it in their professional lives. This leads to TA professionals now actively seeking out interview intelligence solutions, and when they do, all roads lead to BrightHire. Here’s to 2024! #talentacquisition #vc

Over the past 7 days, an incredible 29,928 individuals have found inspiration in my LinkedIn posts! (It's been 7 days of awesomeness!) Flashback to 2 months ago: I faced several challenges of; ▪️Low reach: My content barely reached beyond my immediate network. ▪️Zero recognition: No one knew there was a "Winstone" on Linkedin. However, through perseverance and a commitment to growth, I've transformed these obstacles into motivation. Today, I'm humbled to have grown a loyal audience of 4k+ and my post impressions have skyrocketed into the double digits. But let me be transparent: this 'overnight success' was a journey of a year, marked by unwavering dedication and consistency. In every post, I've strived to embody AUTHENTICITY, because TRUST is earned through genuine connection. I believe in sharing the journey—not just the triumphs, but the struggles too—because that's where true inspiration lies. So, let's continue to support each other, learn from one another, and grow together. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey! If you haven't already, please consider following me. Let's be mutual and continue to inspire each other even further.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐞. I did not take the bus, hit my badge, and go to the office to send the usual Monday morning reports. 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐱. A cycle of 5 years in the group ended with a group picture, a lunch, and some tears in my eyes. Working life is uncomfortable. There are conflicts, disagreements, and tension. But there is also growth, friendship, and personal improvement. And the truth is, without tension, there is no growth. We need to get uncomfortable to go to the next level. A great team is composed of people who challenge and nurture you at the same time. For this reason, I would like to take some time to thank my team (and my former one) in public: Paolo Piccolotto was the person who changed the vibe of the whole office with his open heart, making everybody a little bit happier with his presence. Cesare Chiesurin the youngest guy on the team, won my respect with his consistency and eagerness to learn. Simone damiano Bet the guy who greeted every single person in the office 3-4 times a day without skipping anyone, making everyone feel seen. Andrea Barizza the most authentic person and a real friend. Maybe the person I will miss the most. Enrico Bincoletto a leader with an open heart and the best capacity in digital drawing. Sara Castanheira an example of a calm leader who kept the team productive while maintaining empathy and an open heart. Devis Vadori a genius boomer. Somehow, he was always right, and no matter how many errors or bugs he found in my applications, he never lost trust in me. Elena R. people say that after finishing school, they learned the most from the professor who challenged them the most. This is Elena for me. I had my biggest growth under her guidance. Loretta Camerotto the person who made me feel welcome from day one and the first one to believe in my capabilities. Silvano Barabesi one of the most strategic visionaries I know. Always being one step ahead of the others, even in retirement.
