Was hat Sie an Rocket Software interessiert?

I saw Rocket Software's enormous potential from a brand perspective, and after meeting our CEO Milan during an interview, I thought, “Wow, I want to work for that person.” I felt drawn toward the ambitious vision Milan shared during our meeting. Plus, joining a talented marketing team made the opportunity even more appealing—it honestly checked all the boxes for me.

We’re set for an incredible future over the few years and beyond, both from a marketplace standpoint and people perspective. I look at us now, and the ambition of our organization blows me away. We really have something special here, and it should not be underestimated.

Was ist einer Ihrer stolzesten Momente während Ihrer Zeit bei Rocket Software?

Launching Rocket Software’s new brand in 2022 was so exciting for the team and made me really proud. We launched internally first with over 40 brand workshops, and we educated over 2,000 Rocketeers on the brand refresh, the thinking and the strategy behind everything we had done. This was quickly followed by an external launch, new website, advertising campaign, and so on. One of many wins was a significant increase in brand awareness —it was incredible. Seeing everyone at Rocket Software working hard to pull this off made me proud to be a part of this company. It was a true team effort.

Glauben Sie, dass sich die Kernwerte von Rocket Software – Empathie, Menschlichkeit, Vertrauen und Liebe – von denen anderer Unternehmen unterscheiden? Und wie leben Sie diese Werte in Ihrer täglichen Arbeit?

Our values transcend mere words on a PowerPoint; they're ingrained in our culture, unlike many companies where values are often an afterthought. At Rocket Software, our values have remained steadfast since inception. We prioritize daily actions that uphold those values, as evidenced by numerous instances that would take countless words to describe. Our values matter to our customers, too, and that’s rare.
