Your job in one sentence:
I look after the approximately  60 trainees we have at the moment. As their designated  contact person, they come  to me with their questions, concerns and wishes.

How and when did you come to the Estrel?
After the closure of the Swissôtel Berlin 2018, I was able to seamlessly transition over to working in the employee service center at the Estrel Berlin. I find it super exciting to work for such a large company because there are a wide variety of tasks and challenges as well as countless future opportunities.

How does one imagine your typical day-to-day work?
We have developed various standards to ensure high-quality training. I feel responsible for the implementation and optimization of these standards. In order to know how the trainees are doing in their respective programs, I am always there to listen . In addition, I hold routine discussions and visit all trainees and trainers in their departments.

What do you find particularly exciting about your profession?
The daily interaction with the employees, especially with the trainees and my co-workers. I also enjoy seeing how the trainees develop not only professionally but also personally during the training period – this is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a training coordinator.

Where is your favourite place in the Estrel?
The two Convention Halls - I find it just  fascinating the way in which these two huge rooms can be set-up so differently.

When not at the Estrel, where would one typically find you?
Definitely outside in the fresh air, either with friends in the park or playing sports.

How and when did you come to the Estrel?
This is the second time I have been in the Estrel. In 2007 I started in banquet service and accompanied 1 ½ years of great events. On the exact same day six years later in 2015, I returned to the  accounting department . Before taking up my current position as Assistant to the Commercial Director, I worked in Accounts Receivable. The Estrel was always on the list of hotels were I would like to work. In the mid-00s I saw a report about the Estrel in which a major event was featured and was fascinated by the interplay of the different departments. I returned in 2015 because no other company could offer such an exciting working environment. In addition, the commitment of the many Estrel employees who have long-standing ties to the company is truly special.

How does one imagine your typical day-to-day work?
Actually, there is no typical day-to-day work. In my position, every day is different. Of course, there are routine tasks that are done every day but that represents only a fraction of my activities. In my position, I am included in realizing the visions and projects of our owner, Ekkehard Streletzki . Thus,  I was involved in business planning of the Estrel Auditorium and Estrel Tower, among other projects, overseeing them during the planning and construction phases.

What do you enjoy most about your department?/ What do you find particularly exciting about your profession?
Working with numbers and the opportunity to accompany new projects from their inception.

What skills are essential for new employees to bring to your department?
Number affinity and accuracy.

What makes the Estrel the place for you?
The Estrel team/my colleagues, the vision of Ekkehard Streletzki and the size.

When not at the Estrel, where would one typically find you?
In a rowing boat or travelling.
