In November 2024, we welcomed Sarah Baier to PharmaKorell as Team Assistant & IT Officer. Since then, she’s brought valuable experience from international IT projects and a refreshing, solution-oriented mindset to our team.

We asked Sarah about her impressions so far:

Sarah, you’ve been part of PharmaKorell for around eight months now. What has surprised or inspired you the most during this time?
What has inspired me most are the short communication paths. Topics and changes can be implemented quickly and easily. It’s also been fascinating to see the level of quality we operate at, especially considering that we are a relatively small team and how many clients we support. Everyone here is incredibly kind and supportive; people really help each other, and that makes the atmosphere quite special.

You previously worked on international IT projects and even with humanoid robots. Which experiences from that time help you most in your current role at PharmaKorell?
My technical understanding and problem-solving skills in IT have certainly deepened through both experiences, so I would say that definitely helps me when I’m wearing my IT Officer hat. It also sharpened my awareness of working within global teams. There are quite a few aspects to consider when collaborating across different cultures. Being aware of that and adapting your approach and behaviour accordingly is definitely beneficial in day-to-day work.

Your motto is: “When the wind of change blows, some build walls, others build windmills.” Where do you currently see the biggest windmills at PharmaKorell, and what are you most looking forward to in the coming months?
In our last Jour Fixe, someone put it very nicely and simply: “We’re growing!” This naturally brings both challenges and opportunities to adapt processes, introduce new systems, and become even better and faster at responding to our clients’ needs. I’m really looking forward to being part of this growth and to shaping the future of PharmaKorell together with my colleagues.
