FinLeap.com: Romina, you work with many of our ventures. What’s the best way to ensure you’re adapting to the venture’s needs?
Romina: My job is a balance between short deadlines, long-term projects as well as complex financial and technical matters. Every project is in a different stand and moves at a different pace. A good personal time management and general project management is the general challenge while being able to hop between different projects and meetings. I try to schedule different ventures in separate time blocks, so that I can keep up with the respective needs and to dive a bit deeper here and there. It’s exciting to be involved in dynamic projects and contribute to a timely result.
FinLeap.com: Who do you work with to provide the best analysis?
Romina: I work with the entire team-both founders and employees. It’s really nice to have exposure to experienced people from whom I can learn. When I have to think about the implications of strategic decisions, then I speak to the team members. It’s very important to get the full picture.

FinLeap.com: How does working at FinLeap differ from your past experiences?
Romina: Before FinLeap, I was working in an investment bank where, as a junior, I had very little scope because of the strict hierarchy and limited scope of the projects. Here, I can be initiative and proactive, looking for my own projects and making a real impact.
