After 11 years at RBI, we finally made it β not to a deal closing, but to the start as a team at the Vienna City Marathon πββοΈ Together with Andrei Preda (Institutional Investors), Axel Summer (our Rep Officer in Germany), and Stefan Kratzsch (Global Banks), we formed a relay team and took on Vienna yesterday π¦πΉ Running among thousands of people is already special β doing it with colleagues makes it even better. Now, to keep things honest: while our athletic performance wasβ¦ respectable, our logistics team (also known as ourselves) faced some βminorβ challenges. Finding each other at the relay handover points turned into a bit of an adventure .... ππ ...real-time coordination will be high on next yearβs preparation list! The day didnβt end there β we wrapped it up the proper way: with a well-deserved lunch π½οΈ, great conversations, and plenty of laughs. A perfect finish to a genuinely memorable team experience. A fantastic idea to run together β and naturally, weβve already set ambitious goals: next year, at least 10 minutes faster β±οΈπͺ
