Q: What's your favorite movie and why?
A: Aghhh..You can’t ask a cinephile this question.
I would say everything Kubrick, for well, obvious reasons; Wes Anderson movies for its distinctive techniques: symmetrical framing, muted colors, and a soundtrack that includes both classical music and obscure pop; Yorgos Lanthimos for the black comedy style and Benigni for “Life Is Beautiful”: I laughed, I cried, I questioned the world and my place in it.
Q: What excites you about HCM?
A: Its mission. I was looking for a company that cares about its people and I believe that HCM is that kind of place. The company's culture and values really resonate with me. I appreciate the focus on professional development and giving back to the community.
Keeping a fun vibe, while still being professional at the right moments is what makes me love it. I’ve never been a fan of taking things in life too seriously. It’s a common misconception that you need to be serious and strict in order to succeed in business.
I truly believe that HCM can make a difference in the HR community and it’s a place where I can not only grow my career, but also make a positive impact in the world.
Q: What is your favorite cocktail?
A: The iconic, yet simple, gin and tonic. It was originally prescribed as a medical treatment, and I guess we can all agree: this timeless drink really does cure all ills. Except hangovers 😛
