✨ Reflecting four years of being in the CliMates Austria Board ✨️ After four transformative years in the board of CliMates Austria, I have decided it is time for a new chapter. ​Looking back, I am filled with gratitude for everything I’ve had the chance to do. My role allowed me to wear many hats, from representing CliMates in panel discussions, also on live TV, to being an employer, and winning prizes like the Youth Charlemagne Prize. It has been truly wonderful to watch CliMates grow from strength to strength during my time here. ​The most exciting part? The growth isn’t stopping! 💪 The organization is still evolving every day, and I can't wait to see all the amazing things that will happen in the future. ​I am thrilled to pass the torch to Karla Röckener, Lisa Ladstätter, and Vanessa Weiß. These three wonderful and competent women are the perfect choice to lead the board, and I know they will do an excellent job taking CliMates to the next level. 🫶 ​A huge thank you to everyone I met during these four exciting years and to everyone who supports CliMates! A special thank you to Eva Dvorak, Peter Iwaniewicz, Helmut Hojesky, Simon Ellmauer-Klambauer, Lukas Kienzl, and all of you who believe in us! ​To my (now former) board colleagues Katja Hummer, Bettina Graml and Antoine Ferraris, as well as Pauline Trepczyk and Miriam Schönbrunn: thank you for always being there whenever there were (sometimes stupid) questions. I loved working with all of you and am so happy that we built a beautiful friendship outside of our work! ❤️ I am curious about what is coming next for me. I am very grateful for the opportunities that CliMates gave me and can not wait to see what all of our Mates are going to achieve. 🫶🏻
