Episode 87: Alisa Dzic, Head of SMS Department at VX Telecom

"Starting from scratch and being like a student at the age of 37 isn't easy... But I realized that if I didn't do it now, I will never have enough courage to do it!" — Alisa Dzic, Head of SMS Department at VX Telecom, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal

From the colorful world of television in Moldova...

to cold-calling a telecom company for a sales role they weren't even advertising...

to becoming Head of SMS in just four years -

Alisa's journey is one of courage, curiosity, and unstoppable reinvention!

In this episode of Humans of Telecom, Alisa opens up about:

📺 The television career she loved - and the moment she realized that loving something isn't always enough reason to stay

🌍 Why she walked away from a comfortable life in Moldova to start from zero in the international telecom world - at 37

📧 The cold email that changed everything - applying for a finance role she wasn't qualified for, just to ask if she could join the sales team instead

🎉 The serious professional by day who transforms into the life of the party by night - and how her colleagues took a while to believe both were the same person

🐴 Three years of horse riding - and the quiet discipline it takes to stay in the saddle

👗 A designer in her own right - sketching outfits, choosing fabrics, and working with a tailor to bring her fashion ideas to life

🚶 10,000 steps a day, Spanish lessons on headphones, and podcasts on the go - because Alisa is always learning something new

💭 The one thing she would change about herself - the overthinking - and why she is already working on it

❤️ And her definition of being human - being someone people can call at any hour, in any situation, and know help is on the way

From Chisinau to the global telecom stage -

Alisa is proof that it's never too late to begin again, and that the best careers are often the ones you weren't planning for!
