Rank your best SEO marketing win:
I was in charge of launching a massive e-commerce website in EMEA and APAC (SEO and Localization together) and succeeded organically in key markets after a few months by strategically tapping into local users’ needs, motivations, and issues and completely driving away from the US website. This drove qualified traffic, leads, and, most of all, revenue and brought me to lead the same strategy for the US.

Rank what you love most about SEO as an industry:
I work in a very peculiar and unique field: SEO and Localization together, managing people, processes, resources, etc. So, to me, it’s all being able to demonstrate that there’s more to measure than the usual SEO stuff when working in a multilingual environment.
I love being right.
