What was your journey to Arekibo?
While working in politics and seeing the effect digital marketing was having on the political landscape, particularly in the US and UK, I decided to study Digital marketing. I had a particular interest and aptitude for digital content and strategy but found limited options for career advancement in the political field (without going fully over to the dark side), I moved to a Fintech company before finding a much more suitable position at Arekibo.
