In an effort to recognize and celebrate our talented colleagues, we’d like to share some inspirational stories from their time at Temenos, from previous employment and from their personal lives too.
1. When did you join Temenos? Tell us about your role.
I joined Temenos in January 2000 as an IT Support Engineer, followed by exploring various roles in Distribution, IT and starting 2012 – Administration and Facilities Management.
2. What do you think makes Temenos unique (as an employer)? What made you join the company?
Temenos is unique due to its culture and its people.
My first interaction with the company was back in 2000 when I was providing Hardware Support as an external contractor. At that time, there were around 90 people, but the culture was so unique that I instantly accepted the opportunity of becoming a Temenos employee. I have loved it ever since.
3. What do you enjoy the most at Temenos?
I would say I enjoy the working atmosphere the most, as well as the fact that people are so approachable, no matter what department they work in or their level of seniority. As part of the IT department, I feel we get to work with most teams, which means we interact with many amazing people around the world.
4. If you were to describe working at Temenos in a single phrase, what would that be?
I would describe it as a pleasant workplace, where I have the freedom to be myself and bring my unique contribution to the business, working side by side with the most amazing people in the industry.
5. If you think about the future, what do you look forward to in your journey at Temenos?
This awesome company has been a huge part of my life for the past 22 years, including the period I was an external contractor. After all these years and nearly close to my retirement, I truly believe that Temenos offered me the chance to feel professionally fulfilled.
6. What does the “Operate Responsibly” Value mean to you and how do you relate to it?
From my point of view, good work ethics, professionalism and integrity, going the extra mile without hesitation to do your work, are strong attributes of this value. Having all the support from my managers throughout my career in Temenos, I really hope I’ve been able to represent this value and make a difference.
