What is your favorite brand?

Rolex: a Rolex is a Rolex – enough said.

Audi: An old-fashioned brand 20 years ago – an extremely successful brand today. It’s quite impressive how Audi smartly combines cutting edge technology with a contemporary design.

M&Ms: a fun brand – and good chocolate.

What do you like to do outside the office?

Meeting friends, playing sports, and enjoying good food.

What did you do prior to Prophet? 

Before Prophet I was Brand Manager at Mars. I was responsible for a global dog food brand. As a dog lover, I couldn’t ask for anything better!

What drew you to Prophet? 

Many things: The mix of strategic and creative thinking; unique people (management consultants, brand consultants, marketing experts, researchers, designers…); a client-oriented culture; the opportunity to learn from smart colleagues and clients; and a balance of professionalism and fun.

Any advice to applicants?

Be yourself and authentic, demonstrate passion for what you like, and try to meet/get to know as many people as possible at Prophet. In my opinion, this is the best way to get to know a company and its true spirit.
