    Semra thinks of the HitFox/FinLeap office as a place with a fresh and different atmosphere, filled with people who enjoy their work and are fully committed to their companies.

    Semra joined HitFox in October 2016 as the newest Executive Assistant. As such, she is in charge of organizing meetings, assisting with different tasks, and making appointments for Magnus Lambsdorff. Semra found out about the company from an agency. Being from Berlin, but having a Turkish background, she is excited to meet many new international people. Another interesting fact about her is that she has a twin sister that looks almost identical. Today, we interviewed Semra about her work and her previous experiences.

    FinLeap.com: What’s the most interesting task you do?

    Semra: I love the challenge to organize - it may seem easy, but sometimes it’s close to impossible. I like the feeling of accomplishment when I arrange a meeting with many points that matches many schedules simultaneously.

    FinLeap.com: How does HitFox differ from your previous experiences?

    Semra: It’s definitely more casual and has that startup feeling. I also love how easy it is to talk to people. This allows you to quickly arrange meetings and launch new projects that will benefit the company.

    FinLeap.com: In your opinion, what makes a successful assistant?

    Semra: A successful assistant has to have three traits - to be reliable, well-informed, and professional. He or she has to always know what to say and exactly how to say it.

    In addition to her work, Semra enjoys doing sports, dancing and cooking.
