1. Career Journey: Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career, especially one that shaped your leadership approach at your current company?
One of the most defining moments in my career was when we had to rebuild a fintech platform in just two weeks after a client completely shifted their direction. It was intense—long nights, lots of pressure—but it brought our team closer and taught me that leadership means staying steady and trusting people to step up.
2. Career Path: What initially brought you to this specific career path, and how did it lead to your role in this company?
I started out coding websites during college, just for fun. Over time, I realized what really excited me wasn’t just the code, but the challenge of solving real business problems. That mindset naturally led me to launch Merehead.
3. Company Differentiation: What makes your company stand out from competitors in the market? Can you share an example that highlights this?
What sets us apart is how deeply we engage with clients. For one crypto startup, we joined their online community to understand users better. We don’t just deliver products—we become part of the mission.
4. Product Innovation: Are you working on any exciting new products or projects? How do you think this innovation will positively impact your customers?
Right now, we’re building an AI-powered dashboard for an e-commerce client. It filters out noise and highlights what really matters. It’s not flashy—it’s practical. That’s how we want our work to feel.
5. Success Insight: What was the tipping point for your company’s recent success? Was there a change in strategy or approach that others might learn from?
A big shift in our success came when we stopped trying to take every project. Focusing on the right ones made all the difference in team energy and client outcomes.
6. Challenges and Lessons: Can you share a significant challenge your company faced and how you overcame it? What key lesson did that experience provide?
We did have a painful lesson with a lost client—we didn’t offer enough post-launch support. Since then, we’ve made communication and follow-up a core part of how we work.
