Get under the Clevork skin

A bit of a different post today. Actually a lot different. We are not gonna be sharing a productivity tip or a tool that will help you become more effective today.

We are sharing some personal info about us, people behind Clevork, people who developed it and are making sure everything from the app itself, the website, the emails, the content , the blog are always in tip top condition, updated, and working smoothly 24/7.

So without further adieu let’s get right into it. 

Here we are, one by one.

What do I do @ Clevork:  I communicate. A lot. With all of you reading our blog posts, our social media channels, website. I am also in charge of the emails. Yep, it’s me emailing you, not a robot or a server with an automated response:) and I love doing it.

Otherwise, I am Slovak born and raised here in the capital city of Bratislava but my husband’s a kiwi (New Zealander) so that explains my not so Slovak surname:)

Outside of work I:

• am a sports addict- the gym is basically my second home
• my most loved sports are: boot camp classes, bike riding, rollerblading, swimming, skiing, tennis
• am a fashion lover, read fashion magazines and follow fashion blogs (Fashionvibe, The Blonde Salad, The Style Scrapbook) are my top 3.
• love travelling- anywhere, everywhere and as often as possible
• enjoy hanging out with friends, visiting cafes and restaurants with my husband, going to the cinema and for walks in the nature
• love getting involved in interesting projects in my suburb or attend interesting functions, talk shows or sports events (mainly tennis based)
• am furnishing our newly built house so a bit of an interior designer lately:)

If I had the chance to organize a dinner party, the 3 people I would invite outside of my family would be- Dominika Cibulková (Slovak tennis player), Sir Richard Branson and Adela Banášová (Slovak talk show host).

What do I do @ Clevork: I have only joined the Clevork team in October 2015.

I am trying to find ways how to set up the entire online strategy in a way that brings above average results.

Even though I wasn’t a big fan of time tracking a few months ago, I have since changed my mind on this matter and  actually really like Clevork now.

Outside of work I:

• love cars and driving
• and while some people are calling themselves “cat people” I would say I am a “dog person”, I love dogs of all sizes but most of all I love my dog, golden retriever Sara.

So there you have it. This is us, people behind Clevork, in private. We hope we’ve helped you to get to know us a little better and in a different way. Clevork may be a software but behind every great product is a great team of people and I am proud to be one of them.
