Bio
Taavi Kuisma, PhD
I hired Joshua while at Tribal for his understanding of the social media scene and for his go-getter personality. Joshua proved to be not just a great community manager but grew to take responsibility within the social team for key accounts' social media management. I am impressed with Joshua's network and positive attitude to life in general. He makes a great addition to any team he works with.
