How to secure Dream Roles that aren't even listed I Krishan Allen I Growth Lead at Babbel Live

How to move from investing into startups in Europe to becoming growth lead at Babbel Live in NYC?

Krishan Allen is the Growth Lead of Babbel Live in NYC and a great example to what fluid and iterative career design looks like after a couple of years.

Starting out in the heart of the startup ecosystem, San Francisco, he decided to move to Rotterdam for his Master’s to delve deeper into Behavioral Economics. This in turn brought him to work for Speedinvest and co-open their Berlin residence.

What followed were happy years as an early-stage investor and Chief of Staff for a consumer social company. Now Krish moved back and makes Babbel Live's growth marketing work.
