The Job
I love the challenge as well as the freedom that goes with the job. The part of my job that inspires me is ‘creation, development, and growth’. I feel that every day is a new day and there’s an opportunity in each day. I enjoy touching all aspects of the business and understanding the levers that can be pulled to create a successful company.
The Weekdays
In my role, there is always more to be done — from ideation of product offerings, building go-to-market strategies and business models to team building, creating a culture, and setting goals to execute. However, I’ve to admit that the knowledge and sense of accomplishment that comes with meeting these challenges, fixing problems, and achieving goals is extremely rewarding.
I usually recharge by taking a walk around the office and spending time with employees; it reinforces the sense that we share a common mission and that they are appreciated, valued, and heard.
The Weekend
Since I don’t get enough time during the week to step back and think, I enjoy having some time on the weekends when my schedule isn’t driven by a calendar. I take pleasure in spending quality time with my loved ones and catching up with old friends. Besides socialising, I also indulge in my love for reading and frequently tune in to inspiring talks by motivational speakers.
The Toys
In terms of my tech preferences, I must say that the iPhone takes the lead. It perfectly complements my on-the-go lifestyle with its sleek design and versatile features. However, when it comes to browsing the Internet, I prefer the immersive experience that my laptop provides. The larger screen size and more powerful processing capabilities make web surfing a delight, and the physical keyboard and trackpad enhance my productivity.
The Logos
In terms of my personal preferences, I have a few go-to brands that I hold in high esteem. Toyota is my preferred car brand, while Bose is my go-to for high-quality music systems. When it comes to fashion, I’m a fan of both Calvin Klein and Rare Rabbit for their trendy clothing and accessories. For my gadget needs, I rely on my trusty iPhone. In terms of food, I have a penchant for the local cuisine and enjoy exploring the offerings of neighborhood bakeries and eateries.
