Cool, calm and collected = Dani Ivanov. I admire your patience in all those AI Studio meetings. 🧘

For being the coolest homemade ice-cream challenge opponent, and motivating me to stay cooking until 1AM.

For owning that team switch like a boss – getting back from maternity leave (almost) straight into a totally new role AND ROCKING at it! Way to go, Svetle! 🤘

For her incredible dedication and help when onboarding new people and for knowing all MACO systems inside-out – you are a true master of all trades. ♥️♣️♦️♠️

A major WIN for the ultimate fitness MACHINE 🏋️ Thank you for the attention to every single person in the office gym, the constant motivation and for pushing our limits like it’s no big deal.

For the Events team, who most of 2021 was just Tsveta, but not only managed to survive another rough year, but also thrived! And for Svetla and Rali, who came back from 2 years maternity leave with such energy and enthusiasm that they caught up a years’ work in a month :) I promise you, every year Santa wishes for helpers like you <3

For her endless dedication and AWESOME work on the End-of-year presentation and event visuals every year! You are an absolute master of design (and deadlines!) and such a cool person to work with! <3

For his ability to explain a 3-page technical document in 3 bullet points, that I can actually understand. Thank you <3

For her special dedication – she noticed I was bringing myself a jug of water before starting work every day, and started putting one full jug waiting for me on my desk every morning. Thank you for making my day!

He just rocks, that’s all – with his crew in the restaurant, the cafe, the office or out-of-office catering, he makes it all seem so easy, but it’s a lot of effort behind the scenes.

Thanks for the team for putting this site together in-between all the serious business: Hristo & Stanimir (tech), Bobi & Dani (design), and Svetla & Tsveta (task & testing).

Thanks for the huge organisational effort to keep us all safe in the best possible and stress-free way! You and your team probably earned a medical degree with all the initiatives you put together for the team this year.

For his all-time contribution to the MKT evil last-minute plans.

Thank you to all AMAZING workshop leads during this year’s team festival, who volunteered their time to have fun and invested it in sharing skills and more fun for the whole team. Mihail Irinchev, Hristo Pandjarov, Laura Martin, Marian Marinov and his DevOps workshop leads, Angel Shtiliyanov, Deyan, Georgi Velev, Yani Ivanov, and the MCs: Francesca Marano, Daniel Kanchev, and Hristo Pandjarov (again:) ????

For her masterful battle with the archaic structures of NDK and Sofia city parking services to make sure everyone gets comfortably and enjoys our End-of-year activities.

For brightening up any room she’s ever in with her endless positivity and bringing this attitude into her work. It’s such a rare pleasure to work with someone like you, who tackles any task with a smile and persistence, and makes it look easy and effortless in the end.

Today we found little cinnamon Christmas house decorations on the Marketing team desks. We don’t know who they are from, but whoever you are – thank you, you made our week <3

For her and her team’s amazing work on improving the accessibility of our Client Area and Site Tools ! Such an inspiring project, executed with care and empathy!

The SiteGround HQ magic genies, who are always eager to help with a smile, no matter how busy.
????‍♀️????‍♀️????‍♀️

To Stasi, for being thrown in the deep waters straight after coming back from maternity leave as an event project lead of the Team Festival, without ever having attended one herself, and for doing an excellent job, while keeping cool AND kind, all the way. <3 And for the whole team, who gave their best, helped and sticked to each other no matter what: Tsveta, Diana, Maya Nikolova, Maya Stoyanova, Misho Gotov, Valentin V., Gandi, Krum, Krasi, Anton, Wilkins. Let's do it again this year!

For teaching me to always lock my laptop (the hard way, but alas)

For not saying “It can’t be done” even once, no matter how crazy or last-minute our ideas are. And for doing everything with ease and a sense of humour.

For being a general superwoman and the Lead Coordinator of the release of the latest WordPress 5.3 version on the side, like it’s a small thing. (IT’S A BIG THING!)

For all their help getting all our mini internal sites up and looking pretty and for putting up with all my first or last-minute requests – big love!
