Introducing yet another new addition to the XING family. This time round, Elizabeth our market development manager for UK & Ireland, tells us about her first few weeks at XING:

Elizabeth, Market Development: My first weeks at XING were sugar sweet – literally! On my first day my desk was completely covered with sweets and ever since I have been bombarded by cakes - there seems to be a birthday to celebrate every other day.
One of the other things that stood out was everyone’s willingness to speak with me in English; the team is very international and showed great interest in my Australian background. A fellow Aussie had left little Koala’s on the pot plants in our ‘block’ which made me feel at home :). Sweets and Koala’s aside, I am very impressed with the calibre of people I am surrounded with; everyone does their job with passion and positivity. In additional there is a real feeling of camaraderie which is exemplified by the fact that our CEO is sitting in the open office with us.
Before XING, I was working in the digital space in strategy and project management. I have had my eye on XING since I first arrived in Germany and am now very happy to be involved with such a great business. As market development manager for the UK and Ireland, I have the exciting task of working with the other XING departments to grow our member base in these regions. Watch out - here we come!
