Interview
When and how did you get your start in marketing?
I started my marketing career at Microsoft Switzerland back in 2010.
What brings you joy in your role?
Working with my people, especially my team. Being able to improve and move things forward. I take joy in building up new capabilities within the team and our marketing stack.
How did COVID-19 change the way you work, what did you learn? How did you adapt?
Working remotely was something I easily adapted to, as it had been a common thing for me when working at Microsoft. What amazed me was that me and my Co-Lead were able to build such an incredible, well-functioning team almost fully remotely. We still enjoy working with each other now that we’ve returned to the office ;-).

The sun. I love it when it’s sunny and warm. Snow is nice for Christmas and skiing but then I’m done with winter.

100% Interior Designer or Architect. I love everything related to those two topics. Redecorating or realizing smaller building projects in our house is something I really enjoy and never get tired of.
