👋 WELCOME BACK TO #TECLA-CORE
What’s Inside: Meet Felipe, get to know Isa better, and see what everyone has been up to 🚀 Plus, stay updated on birthdays, work milestones, and more!
😎 Meet Felipe, our new team member!
 Felipe Giannetti | Born in Brazil, with a background in economics. Moved to California eight years ago for a Marketing extension at UC Berkeley and helped scale a startup from zero to nine-digit revenue. Recently relocated to Austin—one of my favorite U.S. cities. What really motivates me is growth; I’m not drawn to “stability” because nothing stays static, so I embrace a growth mindset in everything I do. Big fan of travel, wine, great food, and airplanes. |
😊 Personal Milestones
Isa: Last Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day with a walk in the Desierto de los Leones alongside Piero and Totoro!
Piero just turned 10 months old!
Meli B: I got to make sushi with friends and had a great time!
Den: It was a very creative (and foodie!) month. I finished a handmade ceramic sushi set for my best friend who just moved away. We also celebrated my mom’s and my boyfriend’s birthdays, so I spent the weekend baking several cakes.
With the colder weather setting in, we officially kicked off avocado taco season… with Palta included, of course! 🥑😂
Discover more about Isa, Marketing Manager
💬 What hobby or skill are you learning or want to learn? I taught myself to play the ukulele, and now I’m planning to take an Italian course—I’d love to become fluent and speak it at an advanced level.
💬 Would you rather speak all languages or be able to talk with animals? Why? Definitely animals! I’d love to have long conversations with my Totoro plushie. Plus, I feel like animals are the purest and most hopeful part of this planet.
💬 What’s one piece of advice you would give your younger self? Worry less and enjoy the ride. Things will happen—some good, some not so much—and you won’t be able to control everything (and you don’t have to).
💬 If you could live in any TV show, which one would it be? This is a tough one since I don’t watch that many shows, but maybe Keeping Up with the Kardashians—I mean, I wouldn’t mind having their kind of problems, haha.
💬 What’s one goal, personal or professional, that you're currently working towards? I’m working on becoming a stronger version of myself—physically and mentally. It’s a long road, but I’m committed to it.
💬 What's a small thing that always makes your day better? Seeing Piero’s smile and waking up next to him. He and Totoro are my biggest blessings. Oh, and a glass of wine never hurts either.
