Meet Tetiana Tymoshenko, Assistant Accountant at LoopMe — as part of our Ukraine Support Month, Tetiana talks about how she has changed since the full-scale invasion began, the simple things she no longer takes for granted, and what she’s holding on to for the day the war ends.

---

What is your role at LoopMe?
I work as an Assistant Accountant.

How has your experience at LoopMe been overall, and especially under the current circumstances?
My experience at LoopMe has been very positive. Even with the difficult situation of the last few years, the company and my colleagues gave me a lot of support — flexible working hours, understanding when there were problems with internet or electricity, and just being kind and human. This means a lot to me.

How has the war affected your work life/role/time in the office?
The war has changed a lot in our work and our lives in general — power cuts, long air-raid alarms. But because of flexible working and support from my team, I was able to keep doing my job.

It has been over 1,600 days since the full-scale invasion began – how has this period changed you?
This time has taught me to value every day and remember important moments. I have become more able to handle stress, and I find strength in myself that I didn’t know I had before. I am thankful now for simple things — light, warmth, and having my family close.

How has the war impacted aspects of daily life that people may take for granted?
Simple things — like calling your family, hearing their voice, knowing they are safe, or meeting with friends — are now the most valuable things in life.

Where do you find strength and inspiration in today’s Ukraine?
I find strength in people, in the resilience and strength of Ukrainians, in how we help each other. Despite all the difficulties, we keep making plans for the future.

What’s the first thing you will do once the war is over?
The first day will be a day of silence. Every morning, we have a minute of silence to remember the people who are no longer with us. I think for all Ukrainians, that day will be a time to reflect, to be grateful to our defenders, and to remember those who made it possible for us to see this day.

What would you like your colleagues to understand?
Every Ukrainian is fighting an invisible battle right now — a battle with tiredness, anxiety, and uncertainty. But at the same time, we believe and hope for a better future. Your support and understanding mean more to us than you may realize!

Meet Charley Liu, Staff Solutions Engineer at LoopMe — Charley talks about why he was drawn to the ad industry, how AI has transformed his way of working, and why he would love to live in Tokyo.

---

Why did you decide to work in this industry?
I’ve always been drawn to how technology can make communication feel personal rather than generic — and mobile ads are one of the last places most people expect that. With the right tech and talent, ads can be genuinely interactive and engaging rather than something to tune out. That’s the industry I wanted to help build: ads people don’t mind seeing because they’re relevant and useful.

What motivates you to come to work?
Meeting my colleagues (learning about San Francisco from the locals), working alongside talented people, solving problems, and helping customers hit their goals — always chasing that happy-face emoji in return.

Can you discuss a skill you’ve acquired or developed while working at LoopMe?
Right around the time Chartboost merged with LoopMe, we started embracing an AI-first way of working. It transformed how I work as a solutions engineer — instead of spending most of my time writing one-off scripts for specific tasks, I now work alongside AI agents and spend more time thinking about efficiency and creativity. That’s opened the door to tackling more projects and ideas that used to be constrained by limited resources.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m originally from a small water town near Shanghai (though my colleagues would correct me — 3 million people isn’t exactly ‘small’!), but I’ve spent most of my adult life in the Bay Area, close to both tech and nature. I love a category of sports I think of as pivot/rotation around something: badminton, snowboarding, motorcycle. What draws me in is that feeling of a controlled acceleration arc — it excites me and calms me down at the same time, a perfect balance.

Do you have any hobbies?
I’ve been practicing drums for the past two years, and I can finally cover/record the song that motivated me to start this journey. I’m not a fast learner, but my love for drums hasn’t faded one bit. I’ll keep practicing and improving — maybe play on stage someday — but either way, I know it’ll be a lifelong hobby.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
I’ve visited Tokyo a few times and love it — the clean streets, the spider-web-like subway system that seems overwhelming at first but runs with incredible precision, down to the second. Every street has its own vibe, and you could spend a lifetime exploring and never run out. It feels like the perfect blend of everything I love in a modern city. That said, London has been climbing my list lately, thanks to its culture, people, and history.

Meet Ammar Jawad Doosh, LoopMe’s VP AI – he talks about the talented people behind our AI, his personal background, and why he never misses his daughters’ school events.

---

Why did you decide to join LoopMe?
From the outside, LoopMe seems to have all the right ingredients in place to leapfrog the competition in AI capabilities (a strong data science team, talented and sharp product managers and tenured engineers). This is such a powder keg for agentic transformation and it only takes a handful of AI-native leads to set it off.

What motivates you to come to work?
Hannah, our London office manager, and her great choice of healthy snacks. I hope it’s not a crime to stuff my workbag with these snacks; I’ve got a family to feed.

Do you have any WFH routines or rituals?
I recently bought a Remarkable Pro (e-ink reader similar to Kindle). I’ve set up an automated loop where questions I ask agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Gemini Code Assist or Codex that appears to indicate a gap in my knowledge are automatically turned into technical deep-dives and synchronised to my Remarkable device once I am back home and connect it to the charger. I then read these newly written deep-dives every morning on my train ride to work and any questions/notes I write will rewrite these same PDFs to answer my questions and fill my gaps. This is the future.

Tell us about yourself.
I am originally a Syrian refugee and I have this push inside me since I was a kid growing up in Denmark to prove that we can be an asset, and a net benefit to society. I am also a proud father of two young girls aged 3 and 6. When my friends visit they always giggle at the doll with long hair sitting on my desk: I bought it to practice how to tie their hair and braid it. Also, I have memorised all of Gabby’s Dollhouse greatest hits in case we ever do a karaoke night out.

Do you have any hobbies?
Every Sunday, I leave around 2pm to go for a solo hike somewhere remote and will persist into the midnight. It’s my way of processing all of my emotions, thoughts and anxieties built up over the week and I love every minute of it. I also do Muay Thai (well I should really say I take a beating in the ring) and I opened a gym in Deptford with two other friends several years ago

What has been your greatest achievement in the last year?
I have never missed a Stay & Read (why my calendar is blocked every Friday morning until 11am) or a parent volunteering event at either of my girls’ schools. Yeah yeah, cheesy stuff but I have a goal of being generationally a better parent to my girls than my parents were to me. So, if anyone needs their hair braided, or would like to hear my routine of nail polish and how to keep feet still, just give me a shout!

Singapore-based Sales Director Aby Carandang offers an insight into her career in adtech, what she likes to listen to, and her plans to go hiking in Nepal.

---

Why did you decide to join LoopMe?
I have been in advertising for my whole career and have had the opportunity to work in various adtech spaces like social media, data sales, SSPs, and media agencies. I got excited about the role at LoopMe because it allowed me to return to programmatic sales and be at the centre of AI growth in adtech. LoopMe also opened me to the challenges of stepping into a regional role where I am constantly learning about South East Asia and how the industry varies across the region.

What project or event has been your favourite at LoopMe?
I have a few favourites in mind; I think the SEA team just makes everything fun, but our sponsorship with Dentsu Malaysia last year stands out. I not only got to represent LoopMe on the main stage, but I also enjoyed the dynamics of our team! The day was buzzing with great energy and client engagement!

Do you have any WFH routines or rituals?
As a must-have first thing in the morning, I like planning out my day with a cup of coffee. Whenever I can, I will walk to pick up lunch; then, it’s Spotify playlists all day for me. I listen to everything, including true crime podcasts while working.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am Aby or Abigael. I am a Sales Director for LoopMe APAC.  I am originally from the Philippines and I moved to my second home, Singapore, over a decade ago and have been living here since, with my husband Harold. I love to travel and explore towns by running around and people-watching in cafes! I strongly believe in work-life balance. My latest mantra is to ‘Plan the fun first,’ which helps me focus and be more intentional at work.

Do you have any hobbies?
Yes, I like activities that allow me to focus like puzzles, baking and gaming (if I have time). I also like to move! I run and do yoga, and I have recently become hooked on hiking. I am currently training for my biggest hike to date in Nepal! Wish me luck!

If you could invite any public figure to dinner, who would you choose and why?
I would invite Conan O’Brien – I think he is an intelligent, funny person and it would be cool to hang out with him. I have a lot of questions about the characters from his late night show. If he is not available, I will be inviting Fred from Fred Again so I can sample his latest music.

Aleksandra Meller, LoopMe’s Office Manager & Executive Assistant based in Krakow, discusses her motivations, her passion for gardening, and why she loves Italy.

---

Why did you decide to join LoopMe?
During my job search, I came across an opening at LoopMe and realized a former colleague was already working there. I have very fond memories of our time working together, so I reached out to hear her perspective. She gave me excellent feedback about the company and kindly offered to recommend me for the role. This personal connection and her strong recommendation were key factors in my decision to apply for this specific position.

What project or event has been your favourite at LoopMe?
This year’s Company Day was a standout success! While we celebrate differently each year, I decided to prioritize a first aid training session, covering CPR, choking protocols, and wound care. To balance out the day, we followed the training with a local vineyard tour and wine tasting. Feedback from employees was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the value of the life-saving skills learned. Eddie Peterson, LoopMe’s SVP Global Engineering, also came over from New York for the event, which made the atmosphere even more special.

What motivates you to come to work?
What constantly motivates me is positive feedback from our team; seeing them truly enjoy and appreciate the events I organize is incredibly rewarding. I am also deeply inspired when guests comment that we have the best office and that the space has a unique “soul.” Knowing that I’ve created an environment that feels welcoming and alive drives my commitment to excellence. These reactions confirm that my work goes beyond logistics — it’s about building a place where people truly want to be.

Do you have any hobbies?
I’m a big fan of gardening! There’s something truly rewarding about planting a small bulb and watching it grow into a beautiful tulip. It’s a process that brings me a lot of joy. I also love taking long forest walks with my beloved dog — it’s my favorite way to recharge and enjoy nature.

What has been your greatest achievement in the last year?
One of my proudest moments at LoopMe was winning the ‘Looper of the Year’ award. I am deeply touched that my coworkers valued my efforts enough to vote for me. This recognition is a huge motivation, and it’s wonderful to feel that the heart I put into organizing events and managing the office is truly noticed and appreciated.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
I would choose Italy, without a doubt! I am absolutely in love with the Italian language, their rich culture, and the stunning historical sites. From the beautiful climate and Mediterranean greenery to the breathtaking beaches and, of course, the incredible food — Italy has everything I love. It’s a place that perfectly blends history, natural beauty, and a wonderful lifestyle.

Vũ Châu, a Senior Android Engineer based in Pennsylvania, talks about problem-solving, classical music, and more.

---

What motivates you to come to work?
I genuinely enjoy helping my team tackle problems every day and seeing our solutions come to life in unexpected ways. There’s always something new to learn, and I love applying my skills to deliver real impact.

Can you discuss a skill you’ve acquired or developed while working at LoopMe?
LoopMe has given me the opportunity to develop my AI engineering skills in a hands-on, practical way. I’m not only refining my efficiency with AI tools daily, but also sharpening my development abilities to help myself, my team, and the broader organization.

Do you have any WFH routines or rituals?
I tend to reach for my classical music playlists when tackling tough problems. A dose of Chopin really helps me focus.

Do you have any hobbies?
I enjoy street photography, especially with my new Ricoh GR IV that I brought along on a recent trip to Vietnam. At home, I’m usually working through my enormous Audible collection—mostly WWII history titles.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why? 
Hands down, Vietnam. It’s where I was born and grew up, and the country I return to most often these days. The cuisine is top-notch, the culture is vibrant, and—last but not least—it’s where I met my wife.

If you could invite any public figure to dinner, who would you choose and why? 
Stephen Hough, the acclaimed English classical pianist. I actually had the chance to hang out with him once, and I’d love another opportunity to hear his perspectives on music and life.

Scarlett Quick, a Sales Manager based in London, talks about her team, navigating challenges with confidence, and why she would love to live in Cape Town.

---

What motivates you to come to work?
My team! I’m lucky enough to work closely with the most amazing people, and with so many other hardworking, driven colleagues all focused on achieving goals and delivering value in everything we do. We all love a good chat and are definitely the loudest team – kitchen waffle and snack reviews are a regular occurrence!

Can you discuss a skill you’ve acquired or developed while working at LoopMe?
Working in sales at LoopMe builds resilience in a big way. You’re constantly balancing fast-moving campaigns, shifting client priorities, and the ever-evolving world of AI-driven advertising, which often means adapting quickly. Every brief, meeting, win, and loss teaches you how to stay calm under pressure, think creatively, and bounce back with solutions instead of stress. I’ve learnt to navigate challenges with confidence, communicate clearly even in tricky situations, and stay motivated in a competitive market.

Do you have any WFH routines or rituals?
I always try to start my day with a walk before work, even just a quick half hour makes all the difference. I’m a big list-maker, so I usually map out my priorities or block time in my calendar to stay focused and guide the day. And of course, a good playlist is essential! You’ll usually find me listening to a Feel-Good Sunday Mix on Spotify. I’m also never too far from my dog, Bertie, who usually works right by my feet.

Do you have any hobbies?
I love festivals and live music, and I’m a big foodie! Half my week and weekends are spent eating out or trying new restaurants or pop ups. Travel is a must, I’m always planning trips to try new places, most recently Switzerland (highly recommend), with plenty more on the list! I also enjoy the simple things, like weekend walks or little spontaneous days out, so there’s always something to look forward to.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be Cape Town. I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few times now, and somehow the food, scenery, and people get better each time. The backdrop is amazing from every view point, easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever explored. Australia is also very high on my list… maybe one day!

If you could invite any public figure to dinner, who would you choose and why?
It would have to be Adele. I’ve been lucky enough to see her live twice, and she just feels like someone you could genuinely chat to and bounce off for hours. She’s hilarious, and that cackle of hers… paired with mine, might be a bit much in one room! And of course, she would have to sing something from her 19 and 21 albums – non-negotiable.

David Barnett, LoopMe’s Head of Creative Operations based in London, talks about working under pressure, the value of compassion, and his hobbies.

---

What project or event has been your favourite at LoopMe?
I joined in the midst of Q4 madness (Halloween to be precise, best day of the year), so whilst I wanted to inject some innovation and creativity into my new role, I understood that it was more of a ‘get my hands dirty & help steer the ship’ situation. My first project was a pinball/gamification unit for McDonalds, one of two brands left on my bucket list that I hadn’t ever worked for. It was memorable as we had only 2-3 days to build it, but as per our SLA’s, it had a 15 day turnaround time given its bespoke nature. So cracking on and getting it done in time AND watching it perform very well was satisfying. 

Can you discuss a skill you’ve acquired or developed while working at LoopMe?
I’ve developed a much deeper sense of empathy since joining LoopMe. Watching my Ukrainian colleagues show incredible strength and positivity despite the ongoing conflict has been profoundly moving. It’s changed how I see challenges, both at work and personally, and reminded me how powerful compassion, understanding, and human connection can be. A little love goes a long way. 

Do you have any WFH routines or rituals?
I have more of an office ritual than a WFH one. I do my best not to sit at my desk (nothing personal against my team, you’re all incredible people). You’ll often find me in one of the sofa clumps dotted around, hot-desking with sales or, on rare occasions, sitting in the kitchen. However, that last spot can be difficult to get work done with the sheer volume of coffee the people in this office drink; everyone loves to chat whilst the kettle is brewing. 

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m half Australian, half British living in London, and I have 2 Scottish terriers, Galahad and Uther, who are not as well behaved as everyone in the office thinks they are.  I can speak/read Swedish at the level of your average toddler, according to my Scandinavian friends, and I would say that the thing I hold the most pride in is my ability to tell great stories; don’t get me near a campfire or you won’t be able to shut me up. A fun fact about me – I’ve been bitten by the world’s most venomous spider, on my first day of uni, no less!

Do you have any hobbies?
I’m a bit of a secret nerd, having interests ranging from card/board/tabletop games through to all things space-related. I also love discovering other people’s weird hobbies/quirks and having them tell me all about it; other people’s passions really bring something out in me. On top of that, I’m a huge fan of live music, but have recently discovered I’m getting old after breaking several ribs in an incident involving crowd surfing and a swirling mosh pit. 

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
It breaks my heart not to say Australia here, because it truly is the most beautiful country on the planet, but if we put that aside, I’d say Iceland. Having gone there a few years back, I experienced what can only be described as walking through real-life Game of Thrones. The sweeping tundras, the active volcanoes, the northern lights (that I accidentally slept through after a pizza-induced nap). If you can survive -25°C/-13°F and endless nights for a large portion of the year, I couldn’t recommend it any higher.

Yoli Zhang, LoopMe’s APAC Marketing Manager based in Beijing, talks about working as part of a global team and how experiencing different cultures fuels her creativity.

---

Why did you decide to join LoopMe?
LoopMe’s AI-driven brand advertising platform immediately captivated me. The advertising industry’s dynamic nature keeps me engaged, and I thrive on the challenge of developing strategies that resonate with diverse audiences. As the APAC marketing manager, I’m motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the company’s growth in the region. The collaborative culture at LoopMe continually fuels my drive and keeps me energized. With my previous experience at Chartboost, I bring a deep understanding of mobile app monetization and a strong grasp of publisher expectations and market needs in APAC. I’m excited to leverage my expertise to contribute to LoopMe’s growth in this market.

What project or event has been your favourite at LoopMe?
At LoopMe, one of my favorite projects was organizing a mid-year client appreciation party for the PurchaseLoop Singapore team. Despite being based in China, with the APAC sales team in Singapore and our design and marketing teams in the UK, we worked seamlessly across locations. From event planning and client invitations to artwork design and onsite execution, the teamwork was exceptional. The event received fantastic feedback from clients, enhanced LoopMe’s brand awareness, and provided valuable insights for improving future APAC initiatives.

Can you discuss a skill you’ve acquired or developed while working at LoopMe?
I’ve had the opportunity to learn about the brand advertising ecosystem, and how this fits into the adtech landscape. To enhance LoopMe’s brand awareness across APAC, I began building new media relationships and exploring various industry events. Throughout this process, I significantly improved my cross-cultural communication skills. I’m especially grateful to our Head of APAC whose extensive experience in brand advertising and valuable marketing resources have been instrumental in my development.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hi, I’m Yoli Zhang, based in Beijing, and I’m the APAC Marketing Manager at LoopMe. With seven years of experience in B2B marketing within the adtech industry, I thrive on the challenges of expanding brands into new markets and am always eager to learn about different cultures. I’m fortunate to be part of a highly professional marketing team here at LoopMe. Our team is passionate, diligent, and brimming with creativity. I’m proud to work alongside such a talented group of people.

Do you have any hobbies?
I enjoy traveling and immersing myself in new cultures and cuisines, as it broadens my perspective and fuels my creativity. I’m also passionate about puzzle and simulation games, watching movies, and reading books on innovation and marketing. These activities help me stay balanced and continually inspire fresh ideas, which I then bring to my work.

What has been your greatest achievement in the last year?
In the past year, I’m most proud of successfully launching a series of APAC campaigns that boosted LoopMe’s brand awareness and customer engagement. I also led the localization of our marketing materials for the Chinese market, which played a pivotal role in attracting new clients. I’m grateful to our design team, who have been instrumental in all of my event initiatives—nothing would have been possible without their brilliant ideas and dedication.
