Thrilled to be the new VP of Marketing at Investing.com!
Huge challenge (honestly, no idea how I’ll do it yet!), but I’m fired up because:
• I am joining a proven team of winners. Seriously: these folks are smart, driven and know what they want.
• I love getting people excited about investing better, so they can retire earlier, filthy rich – then invite me to their yachts on a vacation we won’t disclose in our financial reports.
• You only need two bullet points to be fired up!
If you worked with me in the past and want another wild ride (professionally speaking, of course), let’s chat!
