What drew you to a career at Cyara originally and how has the company changed since?
A young company with a fresh view in a similar industry is what initially grabbed my attention, but the world of CX was entirely new to me at that time. Since I joined, Cyara has expanded and matured in culture and product offering significantly.
What does a typical day look like for you and what are you currently working on?
A typical day for me always starts with a coffee while reviewing emails that came through overnight. From there, I may have assignments to mark, certifications to issue, customer or employee training to set up, or support requests to attend to. After clearing the backlog of day-to-day tasks, I’ll move on to a main goal such as developing training material for a new product, updating existing training content, writing scripts, or producing video tutorials.
