Today is a special day for me. It’s my first work anniversary at Meltwater! And I am very excited about it because a year of superlatives comes to an end: - Constant disappointment about deals I lost - Hitting a significant low in my running performance - Having been bedridden more than once But also: - Lead calls and sold to C-level executives in big corporate more than once - Moved cities and learned from some of Meltwater’s global MVPs - Benched 225lbs in the gym instead of business lunch The process was transformative and the reason for that is that I've enjoyed the path so much: - Learning from colleagues in Vienna, Berlin, Munich & Dubai - Challenging ideas with true champions in renown global companies - Diving deep  into the “Sales Culture” rabbit hole that became my new home My plan for my second year: - Apply what I have learned relentlessly - Keep going and get better by default - Change almost nothing, so everything changes Special thanks to the amazing people: - who hired me: Lucas Felder, Patrick Bolle, Oliver Hofmann, Christoph Lehner - who inspired me: Sara Fazeli, Felix Schehl, Bledar Muqkurtaj, Rania Saadeh, Hazem Elsaeed, Isam M., Jeff Nicolson, Olga Sidorova-Nicolson, Emma McBride, Shachar Petilon, Bob van Velsen - who I grew with side-by-side: Hendrik S., Christine Mladenova, Arnaud Nshogoza, Anton Balthasar Müller, Diana Simon, Anna Woisetschläger and many more.
