Bio
🔥 Larry Sequino
I worked with Ann in both her role as a Marketing QA team member and a Marketing Associate at Playtika Santa Monica. I can easily say that Ann was a star on our team in both of her roles. As a member of the Marketing QA team I managed, I knew I could always count on Ann to tackle any high profile promotion quickly and efficiently. Ann stands out for her adaptability and ability to tackle any problem, whether it be creative, technical or analytical in nature. Ann’s tasks ranged far beyond QA. She wrote documentation for all of our internal tasks and processes, managed our ASO activities and App Store pages, and even wrote copy for our game’s Facebook brags. Ann’s flexibility, top level work ethic, and outstanding attention to detail make her a strong fit for any team. I’m confident she’d excel in any role she’s given and would be happy to have her on my team again in the future.

I was very fortunate to work with Ann at Playtika Santa Monica. She handled training me when I entered my new position as Marketing QA for the company and she made my transition incredibly smooth. She was always willing to help me and had an impressive amount of knowledge of the processes in Marketing. She gave me the tools and knowledge I needed to grow in my new position, and allowed me to gain the confidence to tackle bigger tasks quickly. She was always reliable and she put in any amount of effort it took to make sure things got done correctly even if it wasn't her job to do it. She is diligent and hard-working as well as friendly and humble. She's an amazing person to work with and her drive is motivating to anyone that is around her. I think any company would see an immediate positive impact with Ann as a part of their team.
