Born in Mumbai, India, Hooz’s journey has been nothing short of global. He later moved to Brazil before heading to the United States for college. After taking a year off to live in São Paulo, Brazil, he fell in love with the culture and language. His persistence and adaptability helped him navigate the challenges of living in a new country and overcoming the language barrier, making Brazil his permanent home.
Hooz’s passion for running began in high school as a sprinter on the track and field team. Earlier this year, he decided to pick up running again as a hobby. Starting with smaller events, Hooz quickly challenged himself to complete a half marathon, and now, he’s gearing up for a full marathon. When asked about his training, he shared that, regardless of how the marathon goes, he’s already gained something invaluable: he’s in the best shape of his life. Along the way, he’s faced the difficulty of balancing training with work, dealing with sore muscles, and pushing his limits—lessons that have helped him grow both physically and mentally.
On a typical day, Hooz can be found reviewing support tickets, ensuring his team is meeting weekly goals, and focusing on trial conversions and the customer journey. His dedication to keeping his team aligned with their objectives ensures the continued success of Rayobyte’s operations.
Hooz believes that the key to thriving in any company is building strong relationships. His advice to new team members? Get to know your colleagues! Building remote relationships has been essential to his success at Rayobyte, and it’s something he encourages others to do as well. For Hooz, learning from others has been one of the most rewarding aspects of his role.
When asked about his personal motto, Hooz shared a powerful insight: "One of my biggest fears is plateauing and being in the same place I was yesterday." He seeks constant evolution and growth, both at work and in his personal life—a mindset that aligns perfectly with the forward-thinking culture at Rayobyte.
I’m proud to have Hooz on our team, and we can’t wait to see how he continues to evolve and inspire those around him, both in the workplace and in his marathon journey!
