JUDIT GARAI
Marketing and sales managerMotto: Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll end up among the stars.Judy is an ambitious hurricane with a competitive edge, who thinks nothing is impossible, it’s just the question of doing it the right way. She is a kicka$$ marcom girl who always smiles and sometimes dances. Her playful character shines through the gloomy autumn days in the office. She started her sales career as a little girl by selling her toys and the flowers from the garden in front of the house (without her parents’ approval of course), she had even created hand drawn flyers. She enjoys skiing, cycling, reading, dancing, movement in general, networking, paranormal activities and movies. Judy rides a scooter to work and whenever she travels a sofa has to be put in front of her hotel room. She believes the most important in life is honest communication and caring about other people.

JACK BAUER DANIELS
The DogMotto: Woof-woof, ruff-ruff, bow-wow! Jack, the Jack Russell Terrier was named after the coolest action-hero and the Old No. 7 Tennessee bourbon and he tends to live up to his name. He is a true action dog with some tricks up his sleeve, but he can be smooth as a bourbon after a long day too. Jack appeared in several commercials and TV shows and loves attention. He likes to attend long meetings (especially the ones where pizza is involved). Usually spends his day walking around in the office checking on fellow workers or thinking about the next big thing on the couch in Rendi’s office. Jack digs gaming, hiking, culinary experiences, movies about animals and balls. He believes that you have to be big even if you are small.
