S&F Employee Portrait
Something that is not present in my CV.
I regularly take care of friends’ dogs – since I don’t have enough time for one of my own. So when I’m working from home, there’s often a four-legged guest snoozing beside me. And even at the office, my colleagues have already had the pleasure of meeting a furry visitor.
What are your passions outside of S&F?
As a Legal Counsel, people often associate me more with legal clauses than with creativity – but outside the office, I’m quite the opposite. I draw, paint, build furniture, and love anything I can design or create myself. Creativity is my personal counterbalance to the world of law.
How did you hear about S&F?
By chance, I had a conversation with Marcel from Risk Management about his experience at S&F. He spoke enthusiastically about the team’s openness, diversity, and the exciting challenges in his daily work. I was immediately intrigued. Fortunately, there happened to be an open Legal Counsel position at the time – so I gave it a shot. Today, I can confirm everything Marcel told me.
Do you have a creative side – and how do you express it at S&F ?
My creative side shows itself in many ways. Sometimes, the best approach is to rely on tried-and-true methods. Other times, it takes a fresh coat of paint – something more innovative. I like to look at things from different perspectives and am not afraid to try alternative paths when the classic route doesn’t lead to the goal. At S&F, I try to find creative solutions that are both thoughtful and practical.
What is your hidden talent?
I have a good memory – for names, faces, and exactly where someone last commented in a document.
Thank you Laurence, for your dedication and your daily commitment to our customers and business partners.
