Email: A truly memorable work experience? (Bulgaria)
Wow! A few to remember. OK, here we go.
1990’s, beginning of internet boom in Europe. Hired as ‘Strategy Executive‘ for a leading American telecoms company. A team member for UK sales, distribution, European M&A strategy. Interestingly, my 1st job ever! One of best teams, friends with colleagues.
Team busily prepared CEO’s investor presentations. D-day, CEO urgently called for regulatory reviews. Head of Strategy on leave. An immediate team review to navigate challenge?
Asked senior members if they’d present business case to investors? No-one stepped forward. Perfect recipe for disaster, risk job? CEO was charismatic, tough to emulate.
Now, 20 seconds of ‘insane courage‘ is what it took to look straight into his eyes, say ‘I will do it’! Everyone laughed. CEO, “your courage reminds me of self 15 years ago, go girl”! All shocked, me the most..!
Anyways, presented strategy with CFO. Post event dead silence for days. Awaited termination letter! CEO on weekend, “we did it”! Don’t remember much, burst out in tears!
To date, one of the best mentors, so grateful. Happy with big bonus, as well…
