Olga Vega

Director of HR & Accounting

I kicked off my career in a local gem of a firm, where I clocked fifteen years of dedicated service, sharpening my skills along the way. But you know me, I'm all about chasing new challenges and soaking in diverse experiences. So, I took a leap into the private sector to keep the adventure alive. Industries? I've dabbled in quite a few, expanding my horizons and becoming a pro at adapting on the fly.

Right now, I'm over the moon to be part of the rockstar squad at Alleyoop. They've given me the awesome title of Director of HR and Accounting, and I'm grabbing it with both hands. My mission? Creating a work vibe that's as harmonious as a well-tuned orchestra, while also making sure our financial game is strong and growing. Lifelong learning is my jam, so you'll often find me geeking out over the latest industry trends and cooking up cutting-edge strategies to supercharge our success.

Outside the 9-to-5 hustle, life's a blast too. The partner I've been sharing adventures with for fifteen years keeps me grounded and grinning. And there's this pint-sized package of curiosity and energy – our four-year-old champ – who turns every day into a wild, laughter-filled ride.

I like to think I'm leading the charge with a good dose of professionalism and a sprinkle of fun. Teamwork's my motto, and I'm all about cooking up a vibe where everyone's got a seat at the table and the confidence to chase their dreams.

Super stoked about the possibilities ahead for our gang. I'm all ears for connecting with fellow pros – whether it's in the HR and Accounting world or beyond. Let's push those boundaries, shake things up, and make some waves. Give me a shout, and let's ride this rollercoaster of growth and triumph together!
