Meet Lizzy Donahower
Here’s an international travel tip from Lizzy Donahower, newly hired sales support analyst. “Don’t use your mobile phone unless you are certain you won’t incur extra charges,” says Lizzy. “A friend just got a $1,000 phone bill.”
A veteran traveler proficient in Spanish, Lizzy has not used her mobile phone during several European trips, including an international business seminar that held briefings with Lloyd’s of London, Daimler-Chrysler in Stuttgart, Germany and a discreet international bank in Switzerland.
“That trip was a case of ‘If this is Tuesday, this must be Belgium”, she says with that captivating smile that lights both in her voice and her face.
With her bachelor and master degrees in business, business administration and marketing safely tucked away, Lizzy in 2007 secured her first full-time job as an IT recruiter with an international staff recruiting company.
Earlier this year, after interviewing with NetEffects, Lizzy set off for a trip to Monaco, Italy and the south of France. (Another travel tip: “Everyone should go to the Riviera, but in the off-season. The summer months are insane.”) When Lizzy arrived home, her answering machine played back two messages from NetEffects.
On March 31 she joined the NetEffects family as sales support analyst, a job for a master multi-tasker, which Lizzy is, in spades! “It’s like a different job every day,” she said, trying to summarize her main duties.
