Be informedAs a business operations manager at Cubigo, Sam was responsible for setting up operations, building the team and further developing business activities and partnerships in the North American market. In this cross-functional role, he had to collaborate with the product team in Belgium and the implementation/sales team in North America.
Although Sam lived and worked in Canada, his work mainly focused on the American market. He was responsible for assisting and implementing several projects, in addition to interacting directly with clients. As an international operations manager, his tasks included strategic planning, prioritization, resource and stakeholder management, etc.
During this Prince Albert Fund year, Sam was able to experience working for a scaleup, which is quite different from an established company in terms of structure, processes and interpersonal relations. Less rules also mean more room for creative and entrepreneurial spirit. He learned to adapt and take ownership of various projects. “Working in a volatile environment boosted my confidence. Ultimately, this gave me more credibility and legitimacy to help scale other Belgian startups in the future”, he says.
