About ekipa
✨Highlights
Fostering collaboration between ekipa and my hometown university (in the USA) is a significant achievement. This partnership is deeply meaningful, and I hope it endures.
Favorite activities at work
Interacting with our network of academics and startups broadens my horizons and plays a significant role in building and strengthening our partnerships. Developing new concepts for ekipa's growth is particularly rewarding, especially when I receive positive feedback for these efforts.
Must do tasks
Reporting updates during our daily company meeting, conducted in German, is a "frog" task. Communicating in German, my third language, can be challenging, but I prepare my thoughts and trust my colleagues appreciate my effort.
About my colleagues & ekipa
I appreciate that Katharina, the head of the Academic Alliance department, has facilitated Joint Work sessions and coffee breaks. These interactions contribute to positive morale and team building.
My team is key Moment
Traveling to Frankfurt to kick off consulting sprints with a diverse group of founders was a key moment. It allowed me to represent ekipa cross-functionally and contribute to providing value to the participating startup founders.
My Bravery Moment
Introducing ekipa’s innovation challenges to about 300 students during my first project kickoff was a brave moment that went very well.
Future & Career Planning
The internship at ekipa has deepened my passion for fostering innovative ideas with social impact and sustainability. I'm more determined than ever to align my career path with the insights and skills I've gained during my time at ekipa.
