5×5 with Olly: Penguins and Smart Keyboards

Olly is one of ClickDealer’s veteran managers and today she shares some cryptic secrets to success.

1. Describe yourself in three words.

Straightforward, feisty, ginger.

2. What do you love most about your position?

Helping people. There a few things better in the world for me than hearing the words of gratitude from a partner who bought the car of his dreams, built a house for his family, or got the money together for a wedding with my help.

3. What is your favorite pastime?

I’m down for anything that involves my close ones, the sea, and a glass of red wine. Ana knows all about that.

4. What makes an ideal vacation for you?

Traveling to a country I’ve never been to and exploring it top to bottom. From the food at the grittiest local eatery to capital square and crowded landmarks. It leaves a permanent imprint of the place’s culture, its taste and sound.

About Time

Here are some tidbits from Olly’s hectic life:

– I’m a low-scale shopaholic. When I’m feeling down random trinkets and novelty items bring me right up.

– I eat basically anything, except for tofu. There’s a story behind the grudge.

– I type really fast and messy, making a whole bunch of typos slip through. Everyone I work with are used to it, but keep promising to get me a smart keyboard that fixes spelling as soon as the prototype’s out.

– One of my main goals in life is to pet a penguin.

– I’ve got a cat named Goa and the loud troublemaker fits her name to the last letter.
