1. Who are you and what do you do at SHIPSTA?
I am a mother of a one-year-old and full-time employee at SHIPSTA. I joined the company in May 2021 as a Business Analyst, where I am in charge of building all kinds of SaaS Metrics.
In addition to this, I am performing financial analysis and reports, creating visualizations with BI Tools and provide and present findings to help everyone at SHIPSTA make data-driven decisions.
2. What was your dream job when you were a little kid?
When I was a little kid, I always wanted to be either an animal keeper or a pilot. I love all kinds of animals, especially dogs, that’s why I have a loyal friend by my side for seven years already.
My enthusiasm for flying is still there, but instead of being a pilot, I started skydiving in 2015. So, both of my childhood dreams are still a big part of my life, not as a profession but as a passion.
3. What’s the most unexpected thing you had to learn on the job here at SHIPSTA?
At SHIPSTA, I learned that trusting people in your company is important. Since I started SHIPSTA, I was trusted to make decisions. My decisions have been brainstormed in a team, but I never had the feeling that someone doubted me.
4. If you could describe what it’s like to work at SHIPSTA in one word, what would it be and why?
'Agile'.
Shipsta is a young company that offers a lot of opportunities. A flat hierarchy and collaborative teams make it easier to get things done and it leads to a quicker decision making.
I already learned so many new things due to constant exchange between the different departments. This really helps me to understand the relations and to see the whole picture.
5. Lisa... what is this 'Magic Number' thing everyone’s talking about?
Even though it sounds like something from a Harry Potter movie, a Magic number is actually helpful for a SaaS company to understand the efficiency of Sales and Marketing in relation to quarterly revenue in order to target maximum growth.
