Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series. Before we dive into our discussion about networking, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path?

Sure! I’ve always dreamed of running my own business. The idea of working for someone else never appealed to me. It didn’t bring me any sense of fulfillment. I wanted to create something of my own, something that aligned with my values and vision.

I was drawn to IT because it’s fast-paced and constantly evolving, which matches my dynamic personality. But there was one big challenge: I didn’t have any prior experience in IT. My background was in sales, and while that gave me valuable skills, I knew I needed to understand how the IT industry worked if I wanted to build something meaningful.

I set a goal to gain as much insight as possible in just three months. During that time, I applied to various positions in IT companies and went through 100 interviews. It wasn’t easy. I faced rejection after rejection. But with each experience, I learned something new about the industry, the roles, and what it takes to succeed.
