Maria Antonella Bertossi

Welcome to my profile! 

This is Antonella- 19 years old girl who lived and worked as an aupair in California for a year and fall in love with all the tech start-up ecosystem. So I joined Veauty Now! A mobile Saas business helping independent beauty professionals manage online appointments. 
Being the person in charge of talking to users, understanding and translating their needs to the product team, gave me the chance to experience what is to work along frontend, backend developers and designers. As well as the skills to sell a Saas product only by Instagram messages. (As it is the network where all our users are) 

Currently, looking to join another promising start-up! Inside the sales/customer success/ customer support side of the business, as it is the one in which I perform the best :)
