What do you find most difficult about being a director?
What I find most challenging about being a director is balancing strategic priorities with the immediate needs of the team. It’s a constant effort to stay focused on long-term goals while ensuring the day-to-day operations run smoothly.
For example, there have been times when urgent issues, like a system outage or a high-priority campaign adjustment, have demanded immediate attention. In those moments, I’ve learned to delegate effectively, empower my team to take ownership, and stay adaptable without losing sight of the bigger picture.
While it’s a challenge, I see it as an opportunity to build trust within the team and ensure that everyone feels supported while we stay aligned with our overarching goals
