Next in our Impressions from IAS<\/strong> series is Paul Nasse, MD, Northern Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about yourself – who you are, what do you do and how did you get here!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Paul Nasse and I have the pleasure of leading our sales efforts across Northern Europe.\u00a0 Over the course of my seven years (yes, seven!) at IAS, I have covered a number of roles across Sales, Alliances, Customer Success and in the very early days even got stuck into the post room and IT support! I was effectively employee number four in EMEA and came from a Media Agency background, where I had spent 13 years at ZenithOptimedia. <\/span><\/p>\n

I arrived at IAS after drinking a few beers with our former UK MD, Niall Hogan, and have never looked back…<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are days that champion inclusion & diversity, such as International Women\u2019s Day, important to you?<\/b><\/p>\n

I am a very lucky man in that I am a father of two beautiful little girls, called Nora and Ada, and have been married to my wife Ally for 11 years.\u00a0 Being surrounded by such a strong group of ladies allows me to see first hand just how amazing they are. <\/span><\/p>\n

International Women’s Day is important in making sure they grow up in a world that is equal and respectful to all walks of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are given two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion”<\/span><\/p>\n

What three words best describe you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loud, honest and hungry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you think the subject of gender equality can ever be settled?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, absolutely – but it’ll take longer than it should. Every single person can enforce change in some way, shape or form. We all need to have a think about how we can individually drive change, and how we can do it quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your most hated industry jargon, phrase or word – be honest!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The word “cadence”. I’m not convinced it’s used correctly 95% of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the greatest thing men can do to support women in business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just stop and think about how their actions and words can drive equality, before jumping straight in.<\/span><\/p>\n
