This Issue's Wonder Woman: Anna Hurko

I’m Anna Hurko. I am from the south of Ukraine and I miss my home a lot. My WordPress journey started more than 11 years ago. I started as technical support and now I am CEO of Crocoblock. It was never my goal, but it was necessary to achieve my goal. After work I get inspiration from my family, art, and sport.

What is your mantra?

It doesn’t matter who you are inside your head; only your actions matter.

Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier.

Figma, AI, Google Sheets, Power BI, Whiteboard (any)

What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

coffee + water

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

it is always coffee + water

Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self?

Belive in yourself more than others (it is good advice for me even now)
