🎉 What a Year It’s Been! 🎉 As we wrap up 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the milestones we’ve achieved and the progress we’ve made together. It’s been an incredible year of growth, milestones, and teamwork –none of it would have been possible without the amazing people around us. 💪 Here are just a few highlights from this year: ✨ We nearly doubled our team size, welcoming many talented individuals to our journey. 📍 We expanded with two new, larger offices in Berlin and Munich, creating ample space for collaboration and innovation. 🚀 We launched 10 new frameworks, each designed to bring even greater value to our work and community. ✅ We achieved a 100% certification success rate thanks to the dedication and expertise of our team. But these milestones are just part of the story. In our recap video, Lena Wahle (People & Culture Lead), Antonia Pervanidis (Chief of Staff), Felix Kleinhenz (Head of Product), and our founders – COO Johannes Hussak, CEO Dr. Kilian Schmidt, and CTO Alexander Prams – share their highlights, their thoughts on these milestones, and what lies ahead in 2025. To everyone who has been a part of our journey this year – thank you. Your support, collaboration, and belief in what we do mean the world to us. 🌟 #Teamwork #Growth #ThankYou

🎄 Spreading Joy and Celebrating Together! 🎄 This holiday season, our team came together to celebrate the spirit of giving and community. 🌟 Together, we packed care packages for people in need, filled with essentials and thoughtful touches to brighten their holidays.  🎉 Afterwards, we wrapped up the day with a festive gathering in our old office. We also took some time to look back on the year with a presentation that reminded us of all we’ve accomplished and the moments we’ve shared as a team. As the year comes to an end, we want to take a moment to thank all of our clients and partners for being a part of our truly astounding journey this year and wish all of you a wonderful #holiday.
