Mana Tech

At Mana Tech, we’re powered by a team of extraordinary individuals, and today we’re thrilled to introduce Ilona Polit, our Marketing Manager!🙌 🌎Ilona’s journey has taken her from Ecuador to Chile, Spain, NYC, and now Miami (since 2021). Each stop along the way has shaped her unique perspective and creative approach. 💙What does she love about Mana Tech? The chance to take on new projects, constantly learn, and the support of the amazing team that makes it all possible. 📚Outside work, Ilona is a true explorer of places, passions, and creativity. From sketching and photography to losing herself in a good book, she’s always embracing life with flair. ✈️Her heart is split between the elegance of Paris and the natural wonder of the Galápagos, and when it comes to food? Peruvian dishes always steal the show! Ilona’s creativity and passion keep us inspired every day. Let’s celebrate the amazing people who make our mission possible and show Ilo some love in the comments!💫 #ManaTech #MeetTheTeam #ManaTechTeam
