Unofficial Spiceworks

Following in our series of Spiceworks employee interviews I decided to bring it a bit closer to “home” for this month’s by talking to Oliver who is the Regional Manager Sales & Marketing guy for the UK.

What sort of thing do you do for Spiceworks over here in the UK?

I’am the Regional Manager Sales & Marketing UK at Spiceworks. Focus is very much on Sales so I am talking to IT vendors here in the UK and showing them how to reach a great audience – the Spiceworks usership. Furthermore, I’m involved in event organization, campaign planning, product development and whatever has to be done.

Are you looking forward to the UK Boot Camps?

Absolutely! Boot Camps are great occasions to connect with whom is most important for us – our users! Besides that it’s always nice parties afterwards.

What moment made you feel the proudest to be part of Spiceworks?

When an EMEA Marketing Manager of a huge IT vendor called me and said: ‘Olli, everybody here is talking about Spiceworks, we have to meet up’.

What is the hardest bit about working in the UK for a company run from the US?

American accents + time gap!

What’s your favorite technology gadget?

My Nokia smartphone – makes me independent and able to react wherever I am. On the other hand, I sometimes have to resist the temptation to check emails in the evening when I’m out with my mates

If you were an animal what animal would you be and why?

A monkey – they can hang out everywhere and don’t have to pay tax

And the important question, do you like bacon?

Isn’t that obvious?

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us Oliver, and see you tomorrow at 360IT.
