Proggio’s Employee Spotlight: Yamit

A little bit about Yamit:

I thrive on connecting with people from all walks of life, reveling in the diversity of human experience. Outdoor adventures are my calling, whether it’s hiking through rugged trails, cycling along scenic routes, or gliding down snow-covered slopes on skis. Volleyball is my passion, a sport that brings out my competitive side while fostering teamwork. I have a keen interest in history and diverse cultures, whether through reading or traveling, constantly seeking to expand my horizons and understanding of the world.

This dynamic balance allows me to engage with both the big picture and the finer details, ensuring a comprehensive approach to achieving our objectives.

2. What advice do you have for someone also interested in that type of position?

Gain Diverse Experience: Seek out opportunities to gain experience in both strategic planning and financial analysis. This could involve taking on different roles within your current organization or pursuing internships and projects that allow you to develop these skills.
