Lots of names and faces. #fridayfeeling #optech Remember that Hasbro game, “Guess Who?” I thought of it this morning on our last day of OpTech. Lots of industry names and faces to remember, recall and learn. Since I’ve been in multifamily for *cough* a while … I’ve gained lots of both and have become familiar with many folks: friends, aquantanices, colleagues and competitors. My memory has thankfully been very strong, but I still utilize some common steps to help me continue to better know my network: Pay attention: When you meet someone, actively focus on their name and face. Repeat their name in your mind and look for distinctive features to associate with them. Use association: Connect the person's name with something memorable about them or with a familiar word or image. This association can make it easier to recall their name later. Practice recall: After the initial introduction, try to recall the person's name from memory. If you can't remember, politely ask them to repeat it. Regular use: The more you use a person's name in conversation, the better you'll remember it. So, try to incorporate their name when talking to them or when introducing them I took no photos this time round, so I only have names. (Don’t worry, I won’t LinkedIn tag ALL of you.) And if you are still here this last day of National Multifamily Housing Council’s OpTech— let’s connect and put a face to a name! #multifamily #networking #proptech

If 2023 was the year of change, 2024 will be the year of focus. Here's a recap of what happened, and what's ahead 🎢 ⚡️After celebrating 4 years at Meta and losing 80% of my team to a wave of layoffs in November 2022, I was part of the people who remained. During 10 months of re-orgs, changes in scope and new cross-functional partners, I managed to navigate the uncertainty with the help of incredible people and inspiring champions like Andrea Carmichael, Rebekah A., Elif Kuyucu Kıncılar and Heike Koenig 👩🏻🔬 During that time, I also conducted multiple “life experiments” like doing a road trip from Berlin to Barcelona and living there for a month. There, I had a meal that changed my course of thinking. While discussing ideas with Eleonora Mejia Valencia who was co-founding a fintech company as CEO, she inspired me to stop making excuses for starting a company of my own and take the leap. 🚀 Which brings me to the exciting chapter ahead. In September, I joined Antler VC's Pre-Seed program - a people first approach to starting a company where you’re encouraged to prioritize founder fit as you develop a business idea. I met incredibly smart, hungry and determined founders who inspired me every day. After two “breakups” and more than 5 business ideas, I found a great partner for the next chapter. Madeleine Schulze and I have kicked off “The Hardcore 6” - a 6-month journey where we will  launch a new MVP every 4 weeks with the goal of validating each idea and doubling down on the one(s) that show the best level of success. 🎯 Curious to hear more? Follow along the journey by subscribing to our substack, where we’ll share user insights from our research, how we build our MVPs and ultimately which projects become successful: https://lnkd.in/dTsEgtWQ 🥂 Cheers to the year of focus and hustle ahead!

Fueling every sprint since October 2023. 🚀 As a newcomer to the tech industry, I was unfamiliar with the term "sprint." However, after joining the team at Unikon.ai I quickly learned that it refers to a time-boxed period in which a team completes a set amount of tasks. Here, the person who comes last gets the coffee for everyone. A thing started by my colleague Dhruvam Sharma. Thankfully, I have only ordered coffee once. Hopefully the last. Looking forward to what's next! ⏭️ #starbucks #startupgrowth #projectmanagement #sprintplanning

🚀 Reflecting on My First Year at Square: A Journey of Innovation and Growth 🔥 👋 It's hard to believe it's been a whole year since I joined the incredible team at Square. 🎉 Time flies when you're having a blast innovating, learning, and growing! 🚀💡 When I first walked through the doors of Square, I was greeted not just by a company, but by a culture. A culture that places innovation at the forefront. A culture that empowers every single team member to be the driving force behind change. Today, I'm here to share a few of the invaluable lessons I've learned during this whirlwind year. 1️⃣ The "Write First" Culture: At Square, we don't just talk the talk; we write the write! 📝 From day one, I was encouraged to contribute ideas, no matter how big or small, by putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and sharing them with my colleagues. This culture of open communication and idea sharing has not only accelerated our projects but also fostered an environment where innovation thrives. 2️⃣ Bottom-Up Empowerment: One of the most refreshing aspects of working at Square is the emphasis on bottom-up empowerment. 💪 It's not just about the top-down approach; it's about trusting each and every team member to make impactful decisions. This approach has not only empowered me but also ignited my passion for taking ownership of my work and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. 3️⃣ Tremendous Growth: In just one year, I've witnessed Square's incredible growth firsthand. 📈 We're not just shaping the future of payments; we're redefining it! The opportunity to be a part of this journey and contribute to our mission has been nothing short of exhilarating. As I look back at these early prototypes, I can't help but feel a profound sense of pride and gratitude. 🙌 These humble beginnings have led to groundbreaking innovations that have transformed the way businesses operate and thrive. I'm incredibly thankful for the talented and passionate people I get to work with every day, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for Square and all of us who are fortunate enough to be a part of this remarkable journey. 🌟 Here's to many more years of innovation, growth, and making a real difference in the world! 🌎🚀 #square #innovation #oneyearanniversary #WriteFirstCulture #empowerment #growth #teamwork #passion #linkedin #careerjourney #gratitude

In January, after almost 4 years, I decided to leave BoomBit. It was an incredible journey! 🚀 It's time for a new season. What will the future hold? At first, I plan to take a brief pause to recharge, then I'm eager to explore new opportunities in the realms of #mobile #games, in particular #product, #monetization, and #analytics. This period has been a whirlwind of growth, learning, and unforgettable experiences, marking an incredible chapter in my career. Thank You Marcin Olejarz, Karolina Szablewska-Olejarz, Marek Pertkiewicz & Konrad Średziński for all the trust and support I've got from you. 🤝 Big Thank You to every member of our incredible #team! Truly, it was a privilege to work alongside y'all. You are an exceptional group of professionals. Continue to soar to new heights! 💥 📈 A few highlights from those years at BoomBit It's been 4 years of dynamic growth (5 promotions), collaborating closely with both internal and external studios. I had a pivotal role in establishing a new department and leading new teams. I contributed to projects ranging from the smallest games to the company's top titles. We could break down my contributions by area: 🎮 Product - Contributed to over 20 games, touching on business, product, analytics, and monetization aspects; achieving many improvements in KPIs and setting new revenue records. - "Hunt Royale" is the flagship title with over 40M USD income and >10M installs. I started as PO support, working on Monetization improvements. After KPIs increases, advanced to Product Manager, and ultimately served as the Game Head. I've been responsible for building Product & Business strategy as well as scaling the production team. I oversaw all game operations, focusing primarily on the product roadmap, monetization, and analytics. Part of the improvements you can find here: https://shorturl.at/flF19 📊 Analytics - Overhauled the Product Analytics area, including a new approach to data structure & insight-gathering strategy, alongside a complete rework of the A/B Testing process. - Assembled and led a team dedicated to developing product dashboards & data analysis support for teams across BoomBit Group. - Conducted >100 A/B Tests across genres: mid-core, casual, hyper-casual. 🛠 Game Design - Enhanced the monetization strategy, particularly focusing on improvements in the casual and mid-core genres. - Assembled and led a team dedicated to providing comprehensive design support for teams across BoomBit Group. 🏖 Traveling and exploring new countries & continents was my plan for the coming three months, but the dream was paused by an unforeseen ankle injury. This twist of fate has opened a window for rest and reflection on future paths. While I navigate this period, I'm more than happy to explore professional connections or simply catch up over a virtual coffee ☕
