Hi everyone, we are back with episode 4 of the EITF project, and this is an exciting one. For this episode, Karthik, Charu and I spoke to Katrien Pagnaer.
Katrien started her career at Microsoft. She started out as an opportunity manager, working closely with customers in Belgium and Luxembourg. She spent 5 years at Microsoft, holding multiple roles, her latest one being an Enterprise account executive for higher education.
She believes in teaching and giving back, with what she has learnt, and is also on the board of advisors for the Auckland ICT graduate school.
After Microsoft, she started her career at AWS, and has held multiple roles so far. She started out as a National sales manager for New Zealand, before transitioning to a role as Senior sales manager for mid enterprise in Australia and is currently the head of enterprise Greenfield based out of Amsterdam.
All right everyone, notice anything here? Katrien has traveled the world in the pursuit of building a multi dimensional career. In her interview with us, we talk about this - Katrien says that most of us think of Geography restrictions before picking out a role, but by simply removing that restriction from her mind, she found a way to travel the world, experience different cultures, all the while working on the latest technology.
When we spoke about the pandemic and how it changed the way we worked, Katrien inspired the 3 of us by talking about the boundaries that the pandemic has helped remove, rather than talking about the restrictions that it set.
We noticed that She has a very different approach to her work - she builds her job round the way she wants to live her life. We all know how difficult it is to do this, but the balance and the way that she prioritizes her day and her annual year, is very impressive and helps her achieve this.
We talk a lot about what the future holds for a career in tech, and what one should prioritize, to build a career successfully. This is a must watch, everyone. Enjoy, and as usual, let us know what you think!
