Meet Ada Aldea

1. What do you do at CreditorWatch? I am a Key Accounts BDM aka hunting new logos.

2. What made you want to join CreditorWatch? The product is great, and the interviews were quite fun.

3. What’s the biggest career lesson you’ve learnt so far? The world is a small place sometimes, always be helpful to everyone and it will come back around to you one day.

4. What was your first job? Summer internship in the SME loan application division for Crédit Agricole.

5. What are you most passionate about? The environment & food, education and safety access for everyone.

6. Who or what is your biggest inspiration? The Gates family for their efforts to improve the world. This quote from Eleanor Roosevelt always inspired me “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.

7. If you could do another job for just one day, what would you do? I would be a surgeon or president of a country (not picky which one, just one with enough GDP to make some actual changes in that one day).

8. If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go? What would you want to see? I would like to travel to Iceland to see the Aurora Borealis, or Tasmania to see Aurora Australis.

9. Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know: I used to be terrified of dogs and now I am the biggest fan. I now have a German Sheppard mix & a Maltese mix. One loves the snow and the other loves the beach.

10. What is your favourite band? Don’t have one – I listen to anything.

11. What is your favourite movie? Interstellar

12. What is your favourite food? Hmmm I have to pick just one? Sounds unfair to all the other favourites I have. I will say anything chocolate is my weakness if that counts.

13 If you could go to a concert of a band or singer (dead or alive) who would you see? Great question. I would have loved to hear Nina Simone in a concert.

14. What is your favourite book? Again, just one seems unfair. I would say “The death and the Maiden” by Ariel Dorfman – also because there’s a great movie adaptation of this tiny book and classical string quartet by Schubert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i5D4ZW8O9o. Alternatively, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
