Love

Love. Love your company. Love your co-workers. Love your investors. Love your partners. Love your suppliers. And most importantly, love the people you come home to — the people whose support makes it possible for you to get up and do it again each day.

Keep up the enthusiasm

I saw the job request ad below and I remembered that I had a rough week trying to prepare my most important pitch so far. It was for the job interview at MPI and I had to do a market analysis on a segment and then based on it to propose a new business in this segment and develop the business plan, forecasts, competition study, marketing plan, etc. Initially I thought that this task was to hard for me/my experience … Continue reading

New website for Orange Romania

Orange Romania have silently relaunched their website today. I am guessing they are debugging and making sure everything works before the official press release as I am not able to find any official information about their face lifted website. WebShop and WebCare applications have maintained the old look & feel and probably they will get revamped in phase 2. I personally find the content very crowded and I’ve also noticed some bad CSS usage but the improvements are clearly noticeable … Continue reading

Internet CEE and insomnia

It’s 1:45AM and I cannot sleep. At 6AM my flight for Warsaw, Poland leaves. I am attending Internet CEE, the first international conference on the Interned industry in Central and Eastern Europe. Considering that I must leave my house at 4:00 AM, I am thinking there is no point in trying to get some sleep as I have troubles getting up in 1h. I’ll just switch from Heineken to Red Bull, take my shower, and catch some sleep in the … Continue reading
