EMPLOYEE STORIES

It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen

I have a background in Economics with focus on entrepreneurship. After my studies, I have worked for a large healthcare enterprise specialized for new product development. I had a lot of fun launching successful products, but still wanted to develop something from scratch. The ability to extinguish new ideas is important to productivity and to our capacity to scale. It was time for a change – I wanted to extend my knowledge and enhance my personal scaling.

Back to the roots. I found myself in a situation where I wanted to have more flexibility and space for creating great things. Therefore, I joined Fincite. Fincite is in a phase of growth, but still has many opportunities to contribute new ideas and shape the company. At Fincite I am responsible for building new and shaping existing products. I take clients’ feedback and other sources to develop customer-focused solutions.

I decided to join Fincite as they are a young founder management team with spread expertise at the cutting front of information technology, finance & innovation growth. During the recruitment phase, I connected well with each of the business owners who took time to explain the environment I would be developing in & details of potential projects I would run, while taking a deep personal interest in my competencies, goals & drive.

As a project & ventures manager I spend much time interacting directly with clients to encourage the adoption of innovative solutions,  set expectations & extract requirements, which then need to be transferred to our tech solutions teams for work package estimation, where I act as a controller throughout the development process. I take a leading role in operations management, developing internal process & setting project management standards.

Innovation, creativity and cutting-edge technology are concepts that I must keep in mind every day in order to fulfill my job as product manager. My main tasks are to create and manage Fincite’s own products according to the needs of the market and our clients. Tasks that I could not achieve without the help of our highly talented development team.

I was tired of old fashioned companies that were sticking to outdated technologies and not considering their employees’ ideas. However, on my first interview, I quickly realized that Fincite was offering completely the opposite. The “startup like” environment, disruptive products and the possibility to grow professionally were the triggers that made me decide to join the company. Travelling is one of my passions. Getting to know new cultures, trying different foods, hiking, biking, enjoying, natural landscapes… are things that I really like to do on my free time.

After finishing my Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, I wanted to take a gap year in order to discover several fields. I wanted to work in an environment where new ideas and technologies are changing an existing industry and where every individual has the opportunity to grow personally and gain crucial know-how in the digital area. I was looking for a company with a startup mindset: international, young, dynamic, fresh, innovative.

As an Intern in the areas of Solutions and Ventures I am responsible for the relationships with our clients, supporting them to analyze their demands and deliver the products they really need. Subsequently, I am assisting the teams with the implementation of innovative solutions and the management of the whole. At Fincite I have been given the opportunity to gain a deep insight on the latest technology standards and to feel how it is to work on products that will change an entire industry.

My passion for Software Development started as soon as I began studying Computer Science. I am eager to learn and try new technologies which allowed me to become a full stack developer. I like to think very carefully in all possible solutions and the right technologies to use so I can choose the perfect fit for the product I am developing.

Fintech always drew my attention that is why I joined Fincite more than three years ago. I saw the opportunity to work in finance in Europe and to create new products that prove innovation, creativity, efficiency and scalability. Fincite gave me the opportunity to grow professionally working with people from all over the world, getting to know different cultures and languages. I also had the unique opportunity to travel from Peru to our headquarters in Frankfurt and work in one of the most important financial hubs in the world.
