Moni & Pupa
Chief Distraction Officers
Meet our most important team members: Moni, our energetic 2.5-year-old fawn pug, and Pupa, our wise 15-year-old black pug. As our Chief Distraction Officers, they bring an unmatched combination of unconditional love, irresistible cuteness, and just the right amount of delightful chaos to our daily operations.
Moni, with her boundless enthusiasm and playful spirit, ensures that no video call goes uninterrupted and no important document remains un-investigated. Her specialty lies in perfectly timed zoomies during client presentations and her uncanny ability to sense exactly when someone needs a cuddle break.
Pupa, our distinguished senior officer, brings decades of experience in the fine art of strategic napping and executive-level treat negotiations. Her wisdom shines through her perfectly timed sighs during long meetings and her expert ability to remind everyone that sometimes the best business strategy is simply taking a moment to breathe and enjoy the simple things.
Together, they form the heart of our workplace culture, providing essential services in stress relief, perspective maintenance, and ensuring that our team never takes itself too seriously. Their daily contributions include mandatory walk breaks, impromptu play sessions, and serving as living reminders that balance isn't just a business buzzword, it's a way of life.
