Behind the Scenes at Five Blocks: Moshe
In this next edition of our employee spotlight series introduces Moshe, who started out studying education before realizing he preferred being the student rather than the teacher. That pivot eventually led him into tech, where he combined curiosity, business thinking, and a love of learning into a career.
Outside of work, you’ll likely find him hiking, reading, or searching for the perfect coffee spot.
Let’s get to know him.
How would you describe your job in a single sentence (or two or three)?
My role really varies week to week depending on what my teams need. I spend a lot of time researching the industry, tracking competitors, and looking for upcoming events and trends, then turning those insights into content or reports. Part of my work is to learn different industries and their specific digital reputation management needs so I can create tailored deliverables for BizDev. I also contribute to Five Blocks’ AIQ, where I help write, test, and improve prompts and user content. Right now, I’m also focused on cleaning up our HubSpot data to make sure everything is organized and accurate.
If your role had a theme song, what would it be?
If my role had a theme song, it would be “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen. Every week I’m diving into new information and getting to know new tools, always learning and moving full speed ahead. (Also I just like that song).
If you could master a skill, what would it be?
I’m a pretty slow reader, it would be cool to get through books faster.
Sweet, salty, or spicy – which snack can you not resist?
Is “all of the above” an option?
What’s your go-to karaoke song (even if you’d never sing it in public)?
I’d have to go with “Don’t Stop Me Now” again. but definitely not in public, for everyone else’s sake.
What’s the weirdest or most random thing on your desk right now?
The weirdest thing on my home desk right now is a fidget cube I “borrowed” from my brother years ago… and never gave back.
What is your absolute favorite snack?
Anything with peanut butter in it!
Coffee, tea, or something else to start the day?
Filter coffee and a book
A small thing that always makes your day better:
Going on a walk while listening to music or something interesting.
What is your favorite quote?
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” – James Clear
