People at ERGO
For me it's important to change things, but to involve the people in that process. I think transformation only works if we engage the people. My dual study program in business informatics led me to ERGO in 2008. After that, I immediately managed various IT projects. I have been in charge of the Transformation Management department for over 3 years.
What three personal strengths do you bring to your job?
“I am totally motivated and can pass that on to my team very well. I think quickly and analytically, which allows me to understand and explain many things easily. I also have a good feeling for people and can relate to their different needs.”
Which topics at ERGO do you find exciting and why?
“I am particularly driven by the entire field of IT. How do we build a modern information technology organisation for the future? How do we create a modern and inspiring atmos-phere in the working world? Personally, I like to focus on change processes. How do I achieve this goal?”
What makes you grow?
“I grow through having a great team on my side. I am inspired to see how things change and move in the right direction.”
No challenge, no growth. No growth, no fun. That’s why I love challenges. I started in corporate development at ERGO in June 2011. I have been dealing with innovation and digitisation topics for over 2 years.
What three personal strengths do you bring to your job?
“A great curiosity and thirst for knowledge, a can-do and a positive-optimistic attitude.”
Which topics at ERGO do you find exciting and why?
“For me, it's innovation and digitalisation. That’s why I chose Digital Ventures. Adaptability and innovative strength of an organisation are the most important success factors in competition.”
What makes you grow?
“Above all, new challenges that we are facing together, especially in cross-functional teams. Always with the focus on creating added value for our customers.”
Listening to each other, giving space for different perspectives and allowing change that’s how a diverse team can grow together. I already focused on actuarial science when I was studying mathematics and have been in the actuarial department at ERGO since 2019. There I deal with complex issues that we solve in interdisciplinary teams.
What three personal strengths do you bring to your job?
“My attitude is: together we can do anything! Supporting others and receiving support is important to me. Even if it sometimes takes a little longer, you learn a lot on the way to your goal.
Team spirit, willingness to help, willingness to learn”
Which topics at ERGO do you find exciting and why?
“Diversity issues, because they concern us all. No matter what role or position we have at ERGO. That's why I find it so exciting to help shape these topics as part of networking and to work with so many different people from different departments.”
What makes you grow?
“I am aware that I cannot know everything and that things are constantly changing. That's why I like to listen to people and try to understand other perspectives. This exchange gives me a lot and makes me grow.”
