The Freedom Fighter For Ukraine

The Career Changers

Our guest today is Daria Aleksieieva, Growth Marketing Manager at Popup and Freedom Fighter for Ukraine.

I found out about Daria by reading one of her Linkedin posts that was matched for content relevancy with The Career Changers.

The post was saying

From marketer to bartender in 1 day

Hey, let me introduce myself

My name is Daria, I’m 31 years old and I live in Kyiv, Ukraine

In January I joined Popup as a marketer thanks to Matteo Grassi

But on February 24 I became a bartender in just 1 day

On the photo it’s me yesterday helping our country with bottles for cocktails

Starting from Wednesday Ukrainians’ favourite one is Molotov

That’s why switching my role to bartender seemed more logical.

For the same reason…

Many Ukrainian developers became our defenders

Sales managers became volunteers

Taxi drivers became humanitarian aid providers

Restaurant owners - chefs to cook for our army and people in need

Clothes brand owners - military nets makers

Many of us have been working with you or for your companies

Now, some of us have more important things to do

When this ends - we will all become street cleaners and builders for a while

Support us with handling what’s going on on our territory right now

And then we will be back as even better versions of ourselves

No matter what job we had.
