Question 3:What are the challenges in your job?

One of the tasks in my job is to motivate the team and promote respectful and appreciative behaviour. The best performance can be achieved with a positive working atmosphere. At the same time, it is important to scrutinise existing processes and optimise or redesign them where necessary in order to make working methods as efficient as possible.

Question 4: What has been your personal highlight at Horstmann so far?

The opportunity to actively contribute to the optimisation of the development process after less than a year and to independently design a sub-process was instructive and valuable for me. I am particularly pleased that I have always been able to successfully complete my projects within the specified time frame.

Question 5: What do you like best about Horstmann?

I appreciate the independent way of working and the excellent support from the project team. The short decision-making processes and effective problem-solving make my work easier. As a project manager, I accompany the product from the idea to the market launch and get to know many great colleagues from different areas.
