I’m Robert and I work as a Product Owner at Waldom. I joined Waldom Academy for the opportunity to work with extremely smart people and provide a meaningful contribution to the team’s work.
I can say I have not been disappointed. What makes Waldom unique is the level of talent combined with a willingness to share each other’s expertise and learn from one another. Guided by committed mentors, I had the freedom to explore what I really like to do, finding the perfect role combining my academic knowledge with the skills required to perform the job.
