Have you already heard whispers of our newest #leadership team member?
Recently, our leadership team grew by one! We're excited to officially announce that Nadia von Oesterreich joined MAGNOTHERM's leadership team, our first non-founder member to move to the top of the company.
Get to know Nadia: Nadia's role is titled Head of People and Culture, meaning she's responsible for developing and implementing strategies to foster a positive company culture, support employee growth, and prepare our company for its next growth phase. Before joining the #magnoteam, Nadia worked in Business Innovation and UX Community Management at Deutsche Bahn, as well as other freelance and volunteer positions. Though she's lived and worked in many different countries and has an international background, Nadia is originally from Frankfurt! She studied Strategic Design and Management at the Parsons School of Design in New York City.
Beyond HR: Nadia ensures our company remains an attractive workplace and promotes an inclusive and productive work environment. For any young company like ours, staff and management issues are one of the primary causes of hardship and failure. Lifting a people and culture position to a senior role was an intentional decision to promote healthy company growth and build towards a strong future.
Remarks from founders: CEO Timur SİRMAN says of elevating People and Culture to leadership: "My father was a CEO and often said that there are no task-related problems, only people-related problems. As with every human relationship, conflicts arise and need to be addressed. Unaddressed conflicts not only cause an uncomfortable work environment but also make the company less productive. People and Culture is not only about benefits and hiring but deeply tied into company strategy, making it perfect as a central topic for leadership."
Remarks on Nadia: COO Maximilian Fries: "As we have grown over the last five years, it's become clear that a leadership team with only tech backgrounds was too narrowly focused and lacked diversity of perspective. Elevating Nadia as a person, and elevating people and culture as a role, is an asset to the company." Timur adds: "With Nadia, we have found a great person to take on this role. Her business, as well as people-centric background in combination with her entrepreneurial mindset and empathic abilities both, complements the leadership team as well as strengthens our company values."
Join us in congratulating and celebrating Nadia! 💚
