I recently sat down with Marc Kiefer, who shared his experience of joining Contentful in February 2020 and how it has been a great fit for him. The company's core values and culture played a significant role in convincing him to join, as did the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. As a strategic account executive specializing in the automotive sector, Marc was able to achieve more than 200% of his yearly quota within a month and later got promoted to senior named account executive for the DACH region. He credits the company's cohesive vision and talented team members with making his job easier. One challenge he faced was communicating during the pandemic, but he adapted by using Zoom for one-on-one meetings and prioritizing his personal life through a daily blocker in his calendar. Marc emphasizes the importance of being humble and open to feedback, as well as being willing to learn and grow. Contentful is currently looking for talented people to join their team, and Marc's experience serves as a great example of what it's like to work at the company.
