Jessica Couto, Vice President of US Channel Sales & Marketing at Carbonite.
Couto: I worked as a waitress.
The VAR Guy says: We bet this experience gave you a whole new appreciation for people working in the service industry. Remember to tip your waiter/waitress, everyone!
Couto: My dream car is an Audi V10 SUV. I saw one in Germany years ago and loved it!
The VAR Guy says: Sporty and powerful – that's a good combination to have in a car. Plus, there's plenty of room for friends and family!
Couto: My last vacation was to Aruba.
The VAR Guy says: As channel chief, you should petition to move Carbonite's corporate office to Aruba. It would be like being on vacation all the time!
Couto: “Lean In” by Sheryl Sandberg.
The VAR Guy says: Sheryl Sandberg's book was inspired from her 2010 TED Talks speech after she received numerous stories from women all around the world about overcoming their own personal struggles.
Coutos: A Coach briefcase. It is my favorite new accessory!
The VAR Guy says: We didn't even know Coach made briefcases! We know what we're putting on our wish list …
Couto: "The Walking Dead."
The VAR Guy says: We love "The Walking Dead" too! The VAR Guy is a proud owner of all of the comics as well.
Couto: I wanted to be a lawyer because I loved to argue (as my grandmother used to tell me)
The VAR Guy says: Ha! I guess you could say your grandmother wouldn't "object" to seeing you as a lawyer (pun completely intended).
Couto: I love the movie "Elf" because of the crazy comical behavior of Will Ferrell. It is a Christmas tradition in the house to watch it numerous times between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The VAR Guy says: Elf is a classic movie – definitely one of Will Ferrell's best!
