Early Team - Marketing

Feb 2019 - May 2019
Creating the most beautiful and sustainable electric hypercars. Early team member, right hand of the Global Head of Digital. Basically worked 70 hours x week to manage the entire digital marketing suite (partnerships, campaigns, socials, content, and service providers). Had the chance to represent the startup during the Formula-E in Rome 🏎️ Left because I realized I don't give a shit about luxury stuff, even if electric.
