Bio
Lúcio Alvi Berezowski
Kavana is amazing. She started at PushOwl with zero sales experience (everyone likes to point that out, it seems), but her interview and sales pitch became legendary internally. Not only did she shine in the interview, she was extraordinary throughout her journey with us. An extremely dedicated and determined person, Kavana always brought us content and insights that made the processes and lives of not only the sales team, but the company as a whole easier. It was an honor, a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside such a phenomenal person, and whether she is/will be your colleague, your leader, or your employee, rest assured she will do anything to integrate teams and team up to brainstorm ideas, processes and projects for the success of everyone. And I do mean "everyone". I am saddened by her departure but truly excited about her future projects.

I started my work journey at PushOwl with Kavana, she not only helped me understand the internal processes of the company but also in getting me onboarded to the features and the understandings behind PushOwl. I had the opportunity to learn a lot from her. Her skills like negotiation, adjusting to constantly changing processes, client relation, client communication make her an excellent teammate to have. I highly recommend Kavana and would love to work with her again!
