Lazada Thailand

Lazada Thailand and Alpha Founders

Here is an easy video of what I am about to prove to the Alpha Founders hiring manager. In the video you can see a slideshow of related images to this topic, it is nothing fancy really, just an easy slideshow put together with images all over the web, such as seo, a manager or Lazada Thailand.




Lazada Thailand was accelerated by Alpha Founders
In my quest to move to South-East Asia for work I recently found a great opportunity: SEO Manager position available at Alpha Founders, an accelerator for start ups such as Lazada Thailand. Armed as a knight with my cv in one hand and "off the book" SEO experience I applied for this position. However, one must not forget that a plan can only be considered one if it has an action, otherwise it is just a speech. 

Firstly here is brief overview of the company:
"Alpha Founders is a company builder, incubator and investor. The company focuses on scalable, transactional and digital ideas with a proven business model, (...) seeing the wealth of opportunities in emerging markets, particularly in South East Asia and India – a market of 2 billion people with a combined $4 trillion GDP. Alpha Founders consists of entrepreneurs, that built successful Internet companies around the world. We are experts at online marketing, operations, IT and company scale up."
This information was taken directly from the company website, which you can find here.

The company was started by Johannes von Rohr, a former founder of Lazada Thailand, part of the Rocket Internet group. It already has a diverse portfolio of clients such as Lazada Thailand itself, The Iconic and Bus Ticket, partnering with well established internet companies such as MThai, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Paypal.

Now, here is why this is a great opportunity for me: I was always passionate about online marketing and SEO. I stumbled upon it just around the age of 14 and instantly hooked. Being passionate about technology and believe that the internet is indeed the marketplace of the future I was thrilled when I was found out about the available position. It is my strong belief that in the future people will optimize their times to such a level that certain kinds of shopping will be rendered useless, as a waste of time, and that both internet and mobile applications will be the backbone in tomorrow's shopping world. You can see why one gets excited, with a major plus of location, in this particular case Thailand, as South-East Asia develops at a crazy rhythm economically and it offers fantastic opportunities for start-up development, such as the aforementioned Lazada Thailand.

However one must devise an action for a plan. I hope I proved my point.

All the Best
