Proggio’s Employee Spotlight: Angelica
Let’s get to know Proggio’s Product Marketing Manager – Angelica Lopez!
A little bit about Angelica:
I am someone who loves trying new things. That is why I love working in startups. I also am someone who likes to organize and build processes. I am the type of person who will open a bag of candy and sort all the candies based off their color before I eat them. It sounds a little funny, but it’s true. I am also someone who loves to travel. I have been 40 of the 50 United States. During Covid, I fell in love with traveling to national parks. Right now, my favorite is Yellowstone, and I also love food. When people ask me what I like to do, I say I like to eat. On the weekends, you will usually find me trying out a new restaurant with friends. As long as what I am eating doesn’t move, I will eat it. I also enjoy learning about history and other cultures. When I binge Netflix, I am usually watching a documentary of some kind. I also have gotten into reading psychology books recently. I love dogs. I try to go to the mountains once every two weeks to snowshoe, hammock, and hike.
Work stuff
1. What do you love most about your role at Proggio?
That I get to work with a team that is passionate and excited about the solution that we offer.
2. What advice do you have for someone also interested in that type of position?
Learn everything you can about the product, the customer, the market, and your competitors. From this research and data, you will be able to draw the map of how your product is the best solution for your customers, and how to tell them that.
3. What are your biggest accomplishments so far at Proggio?
That I was able to fly to Israel within a week of being hired.
Fun Stuff
4. At which store would you like to max-out your credit card?
Zara or Tiffany & Co. When I went to the 5th Avenue Tiffany and Co. flagship store in New York, I cried. When the Zara store opened up in Salt Lake City, I cried.
5. One piece of advice you’d give your younger self?
Stop chasing. Live a life that will attract all the great things that are meant for you.
6. If you could have an unlimited supply of one thing, what would it be?
Sushi. If I could eat it every day I would die a happy woman.
7. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?
Bugs.
8. Would you rather have no phone access for a year or no car access?
No car access. I could find a way to live without a car. I could not survive not being connected to people.
9. What’s at the top of your bucket list?
To go to Antarctica. I want to camp overnight on an iceberg, see penguins, see whales, and do a polar plunge.
10. If you could quickly and easily learn any new skill, what would it be?
Speak Spanish. I know I look like I should know.
