ANNIVERSARIES
ELLEN FINIS
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
First day: February 13, 2023
Dear Ellen,
Today we’re celebrating 1000 days of you being at Foleon, and what a journey it’s been!
You joined us as an AE and have grown into a powerhouse on the team.
Over the last three quarters, you’ve been consistently crushing it with a 50% win rate, showing not just strong performance but real consistency and resilience. You’ve been stepping up in all the right ways, taking ownership, closing deals, and helping the team move forward.
But it's not just about the numbers. You are also the heartbeat of our Slack channels! Recently voted the most active Foleonite on Slack, you’re always there to support your teammates, jump into conversations, and bring positive energy across the board. Your team spirit is second to none.
Outside of work, You’ve been just as busy; you recently got married (congrats again!), went on a well-deserved honeymoon to Hawaii, and added a new (and very fluffy) member to her family: Tilly, the adorable tornado pup. Pair that with your legendary cleaning OCD, and let’s just say her house is now in a constant battle between chaos and order.
Ellen, thank you for everything you bring to the team: your drive, your humor, and your support. Here’s to the first 1000 days and many more to come
IO PEL
QA-ENGINEER
First day: April 3, 2023
Io, Happy 1000-day anniversary!
Time has flown by, and it’s amazing to see how much you’ve grown within the company. We still remember your days in Tech Support, and seeing you successfully transition into QA more than a year ago has been a highlight for the team. You’ve been doing an absolutely incredible job ever since.
What stands out most isn't just your technical ability, but also your spirit. You bring a level of passion and proactivity that is great to see. You don’t just wait for instructions, you see a need and you meet it. You are incredibly smart, and we come to rely heavily on your insights and your sharp eye for detail.
We want you to know how much we truly appreciate your input on everything we do. You make our processes smoother, our software better, and our team stronger.
Thank you for your dedication over these last 1000 days. We are so lucky to have you with us!
KRISTIANA PENCHEVA
STRATEGIC ACCOUNT MANAGER
First day: April 3, 2023
Dear Kristiana,
It doesn’t seem real that it’s already been 1,000 days at Foleon, Kristiana — but time flies when you’re working Strategic Deals (that’s a saying, right?).
From your time on the Strategic Team to your current role, I’ve always admired your business acumen and how consistently you show up with genuine curiosity to better understand the role, Foleon, and our customers.
Thank you for always asking great questions, leaning into learning and growth, and staying open to a new challenge. It’s been a true pleasure to watch you step into the role and build such deep partnerships with many of Foleon’s most valued customers.
Growth can be challenging, but it’s also rewarding — and it’s been genuinely gratifying to see your growth translate into growth for Foleon.
1,000 more days!
CHIARA TALLARINI
DIGITAL DESIGNER
First day: April 10, 2023
Happy 1,000 days at Foleon, Chiara!
It is truly incredible to look back on everything you have accomplished since you first joined us. Reaching this "millennial" milestone in days is a testament to your dedication, and we are so incredibly lucky to have had you as a cornerstone of the team for all this time.
Your talent as a designer is second to none. Every time you hit publish, you deliver Foleon docs that aren’t just functional—they are visually stunning and set a high bar for what our platform can achieve. You have a rare gift for turning complex ideas into beautiful, engaging digital experiences. It’s no surprise that our customers absolutely love working with you; your creativity and professionalism leave a lasting impression on everyone you encounter.
On a personal note, I am beyond happy to have you in the team. This past year has been especially momentous as you welcomed your little one! It has been such a joy to see you embrace this beautiful new chapter of motherhood while continuing to be a part of the Foleon family.
Thank you for 1,000 days of excellence, innovation, and kindness. You’ve made a massive impact here, and I’m so excited to see what you create in the next thousand. Enjoy this celebration—you have certainly earned it!
ALEX BOUCHER
CUSTOMER SUCCES MANAGER
First day: May 15, 2023
Dear Alex,
Congrats on 1,000 days at Foleon!
You started as a Digital CSM and quickly showed a drive to work more strategically with your customers.
Within eight months, you moved into the Dedicated CSM team—an early signal of your ambition and growth mindset. Since then, you’ve continued to build your expertise, deepen your understanding of our customers, and become a strong voice of the customer.
You consistently ask the right questions, demonstrate solid product knowledge, and collaborate closely with Marketing on webinars and success stories.
It’s also great to see the strong bond you have with the CSM team—and, of course, your role as the leader of after-work karaoke hopping with your fellow Foleonies.
We hope we’re all invited to your beautiful Tuscany wedding in 2026, or at least get a Foleon Doc with photos and videos.
Cheers to the next 1,000 days!
LODENE HAASBROEK
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANT
First day: June 1, 2023
Hi Lodene,
Huge congratulations on reaching the 1,000-day mark at Foleon!
It’s truly impressive to look back at everything that has unfolded since you first joined the team. From navigating the arrival of a new CFO to your personal journey into motherhood and your move to Barneveld, you’ve handled a massive amount of change with grace.
Beyond these major life events, it’s been a genuine pleasure to watch you step into your role as a Financial Accountant. Your confidence has grown tremendously, and it’s evident in the quality and ownership you bring to your work every day.
They say time flies when you’re having fun (or balancing books), but 1,000 days later, you’re still the MVP. Now, let’s see if we can survive the next 1,000 without too many ‘unexpected’ audit queries!
Looking forward to the next 1,000 days of growing together!
OR ADAR
NODE JS DEVELOPER
First day: June 1, 2023
Dear Or,
Today, we would like to take some time and share our excitement celebrating your 1000 days at Foleon.
Reaching this milestone is a testament to your incredible growth and the deep impact you’ve made on the team. Looking back, your evolution has been nothing short of impressive as you’ve transitioned into a truly autonomous backend powerhouse, stepping up with remarkable ownership.
One of your standout achievements has been seamlessly stepping into the role of our primary backend hero for the module, taking the reins while our previous main backend focused on AI initiatives. This wasn't just "filling a gap"; you took full command of the production module, became the technical reference point for the team, and delivered high-impact projects like modules, Data Viz or BrandKit shapes with speed and precision. Whether you are safeguarding our Publisher, Zips, and PDFs or offering proactive suggestions to improve the codebase, your initiative is felt everywhere.
Beyond the code, your collaborative spirit and systemic thinking have elevated everyone around you. You’ve developed a "big picture" perspective that balances technical debt with customer needs, all while remaining an incredibly approachable and fun teammate to work with.
As we celebrate this milestone, I wish you nothing but the best in your continued journey. May you keep finding those "feature-machine" rhythms and continue to master the art of leading complex technical challenges. Thank you for these 1,000 days of dedication and for being a cornerstone of our engineering teams!
JORAN BLOEMEN
PRODUCT OWNER
First day: October 1, 2020
Dear Joran,
You joined Foleon as a Support Agent during Covid, and it quickly became clear you weren’t going to stay “just” in support for long. Your dedication, eye for detail, and love for well-crafted words stood out from day one. Naturally, that led you into a Technical Writer role, where you rolled up your sleeves and turned our Help Center into something we could all be proud of: clear, structured, and genuinely enjoyable to use.
Starting out in the product team and later joining the marketing squad, you kept expanding your impact — from documentation to in-app communication and beyond. You left your mark with projects like the Chameleon implementation and Content Compass, helping make product guidance smarter, clearer, and more human. And you didn’t stop at Foleon HQ either: you even went on a Copenhagen adventure to speak at TwentyThree, sharing your thoughts on webinar formats and representing Foleon on the international stage.
Late 2024, you made another bold move by stepping into a Product Owner role — and you’re absolutely nailing it. You adapted swiftly to the role, combining strong product ownership with your trademark communication and writing skills. With your deep product knowledge and the relationships you’ve built across Foleon, you play a pivotal role in shaping the ambitious roadmap for the Production module and acting as a trusted partner to our GTM teams.
I genuinely enjoy seeing you grow — while you stay the same passionate pool player, DJ (I still miss our Foleon DJ sessions), padel enthusiast, and runner we all know. Huge congrats on your anniversary, and thanks for everything you bring to Foleon
SEAN FILIDIS
SENIOR COPYWRITER
First day: September 1, 2017
Celebrating 3,000 Days of Digital Brilliance (and Sarcasm) 🎉
Today, we’re marking an impressive milestone: 3,000 days of having our resident copywriter/webmaster/tech whisperer in the Demand Generation team.
That’s more than eight years of creativity, problem-solving, and a steady stream of sarcasm that has become a core part of our team culture—whether we admit it or not.
Over these 3,000 days, you’ve shaped the website into a true resource and lead-generating engine—building pages, polishing copy, improving user journeys, and making sure everything works smoothly even when the rest of us are trying our best to break it (unintentionally, of course). Your fingerprints are on every landing page, headline, homepage tweak, and clever turn of phrase that helps drive our commercial efforts forward.
You bring a rare mix of creativity, technical talent, and an ability to translate complex ideas into digital experiences that actually engage. You’re the person we turn to when something needs to look better, sound sharper, or work… at all. And you somehow manage to deliver it all with a perfectly timed joke or pun that makes the chaos feel a little lighter.
Congratulations to 3,000 Days of Survival—uh, Service!
