My Fuel — About Alex Glushenkov
What fuels Alex Glushenkov professionally: great teams, meaningful impact, and continuous learning across domains and technologies.
My Fuel to the Soul
Having a sense of purpose and motivation is essential for both personal and professional fulfillment. Throughout my career, there have been a few common factors that have consistently motivated me:
The Crew
To me, the people I work with are the most important factor in any career choice. Even the most successful leader is doomed to fail if they are surrounded by individuals they cannot effectively work with. I seek out colleagues who are passionate about their work, prioritize the team over themselves, and take pride in their accomplishments. I believe in building relationships that go beyond the workplace and have maintained close friendships with colleagues from past jobs.
Change Making
For me, it is essential that any work I do has a meaningful impact on society and the organization I am a part of. I believe it is important to contribute to something larger than oneself and make a positive difference in the world. That's why I have always sought out opportunities that allow me to make an impact and move the needle.
The Brain Feast
Throughout my career, I have always approached my professional development as a mosaic, rather than focusing on building expertise in a single domain. I have found that my love for learning new domains and technologies has served me well and has opened up a wide range of opportunities. I am excited to continue exploring new areas of interest and expanding my knowledge and skill set.
