Name and position at the company?
Jessica Gukerle, Administrative Assistant
How long have you been part of the team?
Since August 1, 2024
What are your main responsibilities or areas of expertise?
My main responsibilities include coordinating the CEO’s office and managing key operational processes within the company. In this role, I serve as a liaison between senior management, internal teams, and external partners, ensuring a smooth flow of information and the efficient execution of tasks and projects.
My responsibilities include planning and executing events, organizing administrative processes, and coordinating IT matters, including serving as the internal point of contact.
My focus is on optimizing structures, streamlining processes, and providing the best possible support to management in day-to-day operations.
What have you done before (vocational training, college, previous positions)?
I first gained several years of professional experience as an office assistant in the field of private wealth management. I then began an apprenticeship as a media specialist in digital and print media at a specialized publishing house. After that, I returned to an administrative role, working in management consulting and, for a short time, at a service company.
What brought you here?
Above all, it was the combination of an exciting business model, an innovative product, and a dynamic work environment that led me to you. I was particularly drawn to the opportunity to be part of a growing company and to actively contribute to the establishment and further development of structures and processes. I was also impressed by the team and the open, entrepreneurial approach to work, as I enjoy taking on responsibility and contributing in an environment where I can make a difference.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I particularly enjoy the fact that my work is very varied and that I get to bring together many different areas. I appreciate serving as a central point of contact and ensuring that processes run smoothly and that everyone involved works well together. I’m especially pleased to be able to play an active role in helping to shape our in-house administrative software and, in doing so, optimize structures and processes for the long term.
What sets your work style apart?
I would describe myself as a structured, reliable, and solution-oriented person. Even though it can sometimes be challenging to bring order to existing structures, what motivates me most is the prospect of everything working smoothly and fitting together perfectly in the end.
Even when dealing with many tasks at the same time, I maintain a clear overview, set priorities effectively, and work through tasks independently and consistently. At the same time, open and clear communication is important to me, so that collaboration is as straightforward and efficient as possible for everyone.
What motivates you at work?
What motivates me most is seeing that my work makes a real difference and that it noticeably improves how things run. I find it particularly inspiring to build structures and design processes so that, in the end, everything fits together seamlessly.
It also motivates me to work in an environment where I can take on responsibility and have my own ideas heard. I really appreciate being able to actively shape things and make progress together as a team.
How would you describe yourself in three words?
creative, cheerful, optimistic
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy reading books, drawing, or trying out creative projects. I’m also passionate about traveling and exploring new places—preferably with good music playing and friends by my side.
Do you have a special talent or an interesting trait?
A very vivid imagination and sense of fantasy—it’s never boring 🙂
What's your favorite quote or life motto?
"If you have to choose between being right and being kind—choose kindness."
A fun fact about you?
I always have too many tabs open in my head—two of them are still loading, and there's always music playing somewhere 😀
