Anna Puzone, Zetta Business Solutions
Name: Anna Puzone
Designation: Head of Enterprise Performance Management
Company: Zetta Business Solutions
What do you do every day? Being part of a new company my function spans all areas. I’m responsible for new business development in BI, CPM and MDM, which has me make calls, meet a lot of people and talk to them about the value of information management.
I’m also responsible for existing accounts management, project and in client delivery management, solutions design etc etc. No day is the same, and it’s never boring!
How did you get into the tech space? It was a natural choice for me, I started in finance and was soon more fascinated by automating the processes using tools than actually balancing the ledgers. I moved to a technology enablement role and never looked back.
What was the best advice anyone ever gave you? Count to 10 before you answer anyone, anything. If it scares you, try it, it will make you grow in ways you never thought possible.
What advice would you given someone wanting to get into the tech sector? Don’t get discouraged, and persevere – it’s not that scary.
What motivates you to get out of bed every day? My family, they make me see the world though a better lens.
Where do you want to be when you grow up? Enjoying the sunshine on an exotic island.
