Hi, I’m Valeria!
I didn't plan to move to Germany. I went on holiday in my twenties and stayed, because I needed to find out what I was made of somewhere that wasn't home.
I learned the language, found work, and built something from nothing. That experience taught me more about who I am than anything else. Eventually, the journey brought me to Copenhagen, where I've spent the last several years building a career in marketing across some of Europe's most competitive digital markets.
What drives me isn't a career ladder; it's curiosity and the confidence that I can figure things out in unfamiliar territory. I've done it before, in places where I didn't speak the language and didn't know anyone.
People usually notice my warmth before they notice my ambition. I lead with empathy, I make people feel heard, and I want the people around me to grow. But don't mistake kindness for lack of ambition.
I'm not the finished product. I'm the best investment you'll make.

Beyond work
I've lived in three countries, speak four languages, and have learned something valuable in each place I've called home.
Outside of work, you'll find me in the kitchen trying to recreate dishes from my travels. Or reading - anything from Romantasy to the latest on growth strategy, sometimes in the same afternoon. I founded a book club at work because I believe the best teams are also curious humans.
I ran my first half-marathon in 2019, and I'm training for my second. When I'm not running, I'm usually behind a camera - I shoot on a Canon G7 Mark III, and I'm still very much learning.
I believe the best version of any team is one where people feel heard, challenged and genuinely supported. That's the kind of colleague I try to be every day.
