5 Question Interview: Siim Pukk, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

Meet the Team: Siim Pukk, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). He’s the guy behind the camera when Martin is talking unrealistically fast and who makes all the grammar errors in those emails. Siim joined us in spring of 2019 to help launch new markets and products. His background comes from sales and business - before UpSteam, he had a boutique branding agency with what he consulted companies on brand marketing and was part of two early stage startups in different industries. He would explain his job to a 4-years old as showing car owners how to clean their car without going to a car wash and investing it toward family time instead.​ If you were wondering who's (literally) behind the scene and writes these posts then here's a brief insight into his life.

What are the ways you keep your mind and body active?
​- I work out 5 times a week and have a killer morning routine:
5:20 - wake up
5:25 - 5:55 - drink coffee and read a book
6:00 - 7:30 - Work out in a gym
7:40 - 8:10 - Take bus to work, listen to podcast/audiobook during

I also invest a lot of time in learning the ins and outs of Marketing, Business, Mental health, and much more.

Name a book that was once in a lifetime for you
- “Hard things about the hard things” by Ben Horowitz. True business handbook that I would recommend to any business owner or anyone in a management position in fact. It’s a book you can always come back to and re-read.. 

What is your unusual habit that not many people do?​
- I keep a voice diary. It basically means that I record myself talking to... well, myself. I take notes during the week of things that bother me and talk them through once a week. It’s kind of like a therapy session with myself.

If you knew you were going to die by the end of the week, how would you live your last days?
- I would take time to be with my family and make all the bold decisions that make me happy at that moment without thinking about any consequences. 

Have you ever cried because of a movie? What movie was it?
​- Yes. Last one was "The art of racing in the rain". If you seen the movie, you know the scene.
