Questions I've been asked before.
Instead of making you wait for the interview, here are my open answers to the questions HR teams and hiring managers ask me most. Short video answers to some are coming soon.
I didn't really change direction; I kept asking the same question somewhere else: why do people behave this way? Advertising is a lab where that question gets measurable answers every day. Psychology taught me to form hypotheses and to look at data with healthy scepticism — both core tools of a good performance marketer.
Measurement first: are GTM, GA4, conversion tracking and pixels correct? Optimising on wrong data is wasted time. Then an account-structure and search-term audit, then a map of where the budget actually goes. By the end of month one I have a "stop, scale, test" list.

Assuming the same creative and offer will work in every market. A message that performs in the US doesn't get clicked in Germany; Thailand's seasonality is completely different. I set up each country with its own account logic and keep measurement and reporting centralised. Separating four countries this way at Goldia made previously invisible markets profitable.
They're not rivals, they're different parts of the funnel. Google captures demand, Meta creates it and brings it back. The split depends on the sector and the product's search volume: in jewellery e-commerce I start Shopping/PMax-heavy and complete with Meta catalogue retargeting; in higher education the search + Meta lead-form balance is more even. Country-level ROAS/CPA makes the call, not me.
Entering a new market for an e-commerce client we carried the creative and offer over from the main market unchanged; first-month CPA came in at double the target. The mistake was the "what works, works" assumption. Since then, starting every new market with a small-budget creative and offer test has been my standard.
First I look at the data: is it really bad, or was the expectation set wrong? Either is possible. Then I explain without hiding or dressing it up: what the problem is, what I'll try and when we should expect results. Delivering bad news early is the only way to keep trust in the long run.
I started at Concentrix as a specialist and rose to senior manager in seven years; guiding others along the path I'd walked came naturally. I built training sets and checklists for newcomers; left the standard work to the system and the thinking to people. What I value most in team management is clarity: everyone should know what they're doing and why.
I've lived both: 7 years of global operations at Concentrix, agency pace at Adsaturn, brand-focused depth at Eduhub. Agencies teach speed and variety, brand side teaches patience and depth. For my next step my priority isn't the company type but a clear growth goal.
It depends on the scope and level of the role; but to speed things up I share my expected range openly in the first conversation. I believe transparency is the most efficient path for both sides.
I worked fully remote with the US team at Web20Ranker and across time zones with clients in six countries at Adsaturn. I know remote work requires written communication and a clear rhythm; I'm comfortable with both. I also believe in the value of regular days when the team gets together.
