A Day in the Life: Ștefania Cardoș

To learn more about the daily lives of our Team8s working in different parts of the business, we created this blog series featuring some special guests. Today, we sat down with Ștefania Cardoș, Technical Program Manager at 8x8. Ștefania is based in Cluj, Romania.
8x8: Ștefania, thanks for accepting our invitation. To start us off, would you mind sharing a few things about yourself with our readers?
Ștefania Cardoș (ȘC): I would start by saying that I am a big coffee and tiramisu lover! I enjoy gardening, spending time out in nature, and reading. That said, I see myself as a people person and team player, always ready for new challenges and happy to help. I believe in pursuing my dreams and am constantly working on becoming the best version of myself. I am also a mother—I have a two-year-old daughter named Carina. In fact, I’ve only recently returned back to work from maternity leave and am thrilled to see just how much our products have evolved.
“Once I found myself in the Scrum Master role, I realized just how pivotal this role is in software delivery. For me, it’s a role where I feel I can make a difference.”
8x8: What about work? What do you do in your role as Technical Program Manager at 8x8?
ȘC: I work with two development teams who are responsible for building and further enhancing 8x8’s Contact Center solution. Essentially, my role is to ensure the successful delivery of the program, which means overseeing the entire product delivery cycle, from inception to customer-facing.
8x8: That sounds complex. Can you go into a bit more detail into what that looks like for you and the teams you work with?
