How did you get into this business?
Four years ago I stepped out of a sales position and into an international marketing role for the same company inside of gambling industry. It was a welcome change that brought me exposure to different company divisions and opportunities to create more visible marketing initiatives. While I loved the work, advancement was limited without relocation. So I started looking for something new and found and accepted a position as marketing manager at EroAdvertising, which lead me later on to the position as CMO of the company.

What in your background prepared you for what you are doing now?
I don’t think that our past can influence our present. The future is just an expectation in our minds.The past is just a memory in our minds. Both do not exist. They are just thoughts. You could call it a lie or a fantasy. Time is a concept of the mind that doesn’t exist. We could call it clock time to understand that it is just a concept. We are the now, and the things we’re experiencing right now make us take different actions. But if you want me really to answer, I would say that by working hard and understanding that there is constantly enough of space for improvement in marketing is something that prepared me a lot for my current position. Hard work to keep the company’s values consistent without losing the relevance I believe is the key to success and this is something I learned from.
