In the third episode of SoMoCast, we welcomed <\/span>Iva Kutle \u0160krlec<\/b>, Director of Destination Marketing for MEA at Hilton, who joined us from Dubai, where she has been living and working for almost 11 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iva shared her journey from a chance start in marketing to success in global companies like Google and Hilton. She highlighted the importance of networking and described the challenges of relocating to Dubai, a market that is \u201cat the same time very fast and very slow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She spoke about her experiences at Google and Hilton, the importance of learning from mistakes, and the phrase \u201cuncomfortably excited,\u201d which helps recognize the right moment for a new career step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She also emphasized how Hilton balances global standards with local specifics, contributing to the company\u2019s success with over 500,000 employees across 9,000 hotels worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, she offered advice for an international career: be bold and give it a try, even if you discover what\u2019s not for you, you\u2019ve still taken an important step forward.<\/span><\/p>\n
