Lead Content Manager at Oxylabs
Iveta Vistorskyte is a Lead Content Manager at Oxylabs. Preparing tech-related content requires thorough research and continuous learning, and this is what she likes the most about her work. In 2021, she became a team lead of a wonderful team of copywriters and content managers. Helping them achieve their goals and grow motivates Iveta to be the best version of herself and put maximum effort into her work every day.
When she's not at work, you'll probably find her just chillin' while listening to her favorite music, singing in the car while driving, or playing board games with friends. Iveta also started singing in the choir, so most of her free time is spent in concerts across the country. She also loves to watch various TV shows, but Iveta has to be careful with them – if they're really good, she can watch, for example, the whole season in one night.
