Just a few days ago, I was celebrating my birthday. It was rather unique, as I found myself inundated with compliments that made me reflect on my professional journey. What a thoughtful gift from my colleagues! Having an environment where processes are streamlined, new tools are embraced, and where each team member perceives empowerment has been the vision I've always worked towards. We've had our moments of triumph, like when we successfully integrated Notion into our workflow, but I see every day as an opportunity for improvement. Driving financial growth while cultivating a positive work culture has been challenging yet rewarding. From launching high-ticket products to diversifying revenue sources, I've always trusted in growth, improvement, and variety. I'm proud that quality has never been compromised, regardless of the pace we set. The mantra we often refer back to? 'Structure, optimization and simplification'. I believe in the power of delegation and trust, ensuring everyone has a role they can shine in. It's highly rewarding to see a team that's self-driven and passionate. And while I value productivity, I also understand the importance of a light-hearted work environment. The journey collectively has been about growth, learning and surpassing ourselves. And as grateful as I am for past successes, I can't help but be excited for the future.

Celebrating 40 years of wisdom. To commemorate GBST’s 40-year milestone, we sat down with our Chief People and Culture Officer, Marie Maky, to learn from her career journey. Marie shares three fundamental principles: • Respect for all • Simplicity is key • Purpose-driven work At GBST, these principles are embraced and woven into our culture.

Happy to celebrate another work anniversary at Innova! 🎉 To honor my 3 years here, I'm sharing 3 of my learnings: 🏆 Always strive for better The standard can always be raised. When you move out of survival mode into successful handling of the status quo - don't stop growing, but work toward even bigger and better results next! 🎯 Come with a solution We run into challenges all the time (at least most of us do 😁) but it is far more helpful and effective to present a challenge along with a proposed solution - or two. 👩👩👧👦 Relationships matter Whether it concerns colleagues, business partners or suppliers: relationships can (help) make or break your success. Treat others the way you hope to be treated. Picture: the gorgeous tulips in front of Innova's HQ! ❤️

19 years is a long time for a small business to survive, much less thrive, especially in tech. These elements have seen me through and kept me passionate about, and relevant in, this space: 💡 Curiosity: An almost endless curiosity about business challenges & how technology might play a role in the solutions 🥨 Flexibility: More than just adapting to change, our team thrives on change and get bored when things are static 🤝 Integrity: We're not bound to external sales goals or growth targets, and our clients know we care about their success more than we care about an extra dollar 🌐 Global impact: We've touched hundreds of millions of lives with our education, financial and health solutions, leaving things better than we found them Let's see what we accomplish in this next year! #wosb #smallbiz #femaleEntrepreneur #womenintech

2 Years at SPARETECH 🥳🎉 Today marks my 2-year anniversary with this incredible team, and it's the perfect moment for some reflection. ✨ Amid the daily grind, it's easy to feel like you haven't achieved much, but taking a step back can reveal just how far you've come. In the last two years, I've embarked on an epic rollercoaster of learning, growth, and accomplishments. The team I helped build tested, failed, and ultimately succeeded. While some of the seeds we've sown are still growing and have yet to bear fruit, I'm confident to some more highlights will be added to the list below! Here are some of my highlights: ✅ 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝘅2: We didn't settle for the ordinary; we reworked our website not once, but twice, to ensure it reflects our evolving story and converts. ✉️ 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 & 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿: Communication is key, and we added a newsletter to keep our partners and customers in the loop, sharing the latest insights and updates. 🌐 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲-𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: We didn't just talk; we walked the talk by creating a series of events, including webinars, summits, and customer roundtables, to provide real value to our community. 📚 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲: We built a content engine that keeps churning out valuable resources and insights, making sure our audience stays engaged and informed. 📊 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: With a focus on getting more transparency into our data, we've empowered ourselves with better insights to drive decision-making. And there's more! I'm proud to have had an impact beyond Marketing initiatives: ✨ 𝗢𝗞𝗥𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺: We introduced OKRs, aligning our marketing efforts with clear objectives and key results to drive success. 🔄 𝗔 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Open, constructive feedback is the fuel that powers our growth, and I'm thrilled to see a thriving feedback culture within the team. 🤝 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺: My journey has also seen me joining the management team, where I've brought my perspective and customer-focus.
