Ciao-Baba Cathrin

After three months working with us as a community manager in Zurich, Cathrin Lesslhumer went back to Vienna on Sunday. We would like to take this occasion to publicly thank her for the amazing work she did during her stay. She spread her positive energy all over the office and quickly became a legend in the community: she was so active connecting members to each other that her name is now known from San Francisco to Beijing.

Cathrin just started looking for a new job in Austria (or somewhere else) and we wish her the best of luck for her future. We hope to come visit you soon in Vienna and eat a giant Schnitzel at Figlmueller. In the meanwhile, we will keep repeating your famous “ciao-baba” [Austrian way to say goodbye] at the office for a while

Hallo Lilly

Freshly graduated from her German high school, Lilly Bussmann has now taken over Cathrin’s role after a week of handover. For the next six months, she will be working closely with Katrin and with me in the community management team. During high school, Lilly constantly tried to push the boundaries of her academic horizon and has absolved an early study program in philosophy at the University of Frankfurt. On the social side, she has spent the last year as head girl of her high school and led the German delegation to the International Intelligent Ironman Creativity Contest 2009 in Taiwan.

Lilly is already well traveled and the main lesson she has taken back from all her trips abroad is that there will always be things in this world worth experiencing, knowing and understanding. Welcome to the team, Lilly! I’m sure that you will have the chance to experience, learn and understand like never before during the six months you will stay with us.

Antoine is a Co-Founder and the CEO of Sandbox. He is currently sitting at the small Zurich office together with Katrin, Lilly, Nico, Fabian (back from New York for the Summer) and Severin (just back from Bangkok). Working with this team just feels great, and the level of energy is pretty high!
