Crazy About Numbers
From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by numbers and calculations. During my studies, I discovered a strong passion for actuarial subjects. I also enjoy taking on new challenges. One plus one equals two—so I simply had to pursue a career in actuarial consultancy. Here, I get to do work that truly interests me. If I can help clients and colleagues with my knowledge and dedication, my day is a success.

Trust
My work is so diverse that I’m constantly gaining new experiences. The work culture at Triple A is dynamic, with many young and highly driven colleagues. I’m given the trust and freedom to do what I’m good at and what I enjoy.

Analysis
With every new challenge, I start by analyzing the problem. Listening to and aligning with all stakeholders is very important to me. This helps to define expectations early on and make clear agreements about results. My work is only truly successful when all parties are satisfied and the project goals are achieved.

Guilty Pleasure
Outside of work, I make as much time as possible for my hobbies, friends, and family. That’s also part of who you are and gives you the energy to perform even better at work. I enjoy sports—especially swimming—love good food and cooking, and I’m a big fan of classic board and card games. And I have a true guilty pleasure: every year, I’m glued to the screen during the Eurovision Song Contest.
