Today Julia, Director of Marketing Growth, tells us about her #freedomtogrow story at Westwing:
Julia, why do you love working for Westwing after all these years?
“I love working for Westwing because its culture is both inspiring and empowering. From the very beginning, I was given significant responsibility and the freedom to develop my own ideas – this early trust allowed me to contribute meaningfully right from day one. I thrive in our dynamic, ambitious, and international environment, where I work alongside a diverse mix of creative and analytical thinkers. Every project, whether it’s a groundbreaking marketing campaign or an innovative product launch, lets me see the real impact of my work. Knowing that my contributions make a tangible difference in the company’s success fills me with pride and motivation. The energy, collaboration, and continuous drive for innovation at Westwing make it a place where I not only excel professionally but also enjoy every moment of the journey.”
And how has Westwing helped and encouraged your career growth?
“Westwing has been instrumental in my professional growth by fostering an environment that actively nurtures talent and leadership. Right from the start, my leaders placed immense trust in me, providing opportunities to take on new responsibilities – even during challenging times like the pandemic. This trust allowed me to move quickly from a Business Development Manager role to leading teams and managing significant marketing initiatives. Beyond these opportunities, I’ve had the benefit of a strong network of colleague leaders and role models who generously share their expertise and leadership skills. Regular training sessions, constructive feedback, and inspiring events like the WingWomen sessions have continuously fueled my development. These experiences have not only enhanced my professional capabilities but also enriched my personal growth, ensuring that I’m always learning, evolving, and ready for the next challenge.”
