Previous performance marketing-related companies you have worked at:

I have previously worked at zanox, later being self-employed for many years and still running own projects.

What are your main job responsibilities?

“De todo un poco” – I am responsible for the whole development of tracdelight, in all its facets. So I have to throw in my two pennies worth to everything, from Sales, Strategy to Product Management and HR. I am jumping between being a simple colleague and team member to the decision maker of unpleasing moments.

Take us through what you get up to on a typical working Monday:

The typical Monday morning starts with a team lead meeting, discussing the activities of the past week and an outlook of the upcoming week. The rest of the day has no typical course. It is always a mixture between sales, product, strategy, IT and marketing tasks and topics, depending on priorities and incidents. Actually this is what makes the job so interesting. Nothing is pure routine.

What top three websites can you be found browsing during your lunch hour?

My own sneaker blog www.i-love-sneakers.com, Google Analytics, Tumblr.com.

What are your top three tips for someone looking to get their hands on a job like yours?

Be passionate, inspiring and visionary.

Keep your eyes open, look left and right, educate yourself and be able to do most of the things on your own. This implies having a great general understanding of almost everything around your business.
Always be a sales guy somehow. At least you are the product.

Career-wise, where do you see yourself in three years’ time?

Many steps above, still pushing fashion and lifestyle companies to the top.

Tell us one thing people at work don’t know about you?

Most of my colleagues know about my crazy sides and weaknesses (buying sneakers). I am like I am.
