Bio
Diana Stoica
I had the pleasure of working with Emma in my first year in Germany and with door2door. She was the core of what we all recognize as an amazing internal company culture. During her time with the company, she contributed and shaped so many aspects concerning People, Processes and Internal Communication. Emma is a rare mix of creativity and empathy while still being focused on the bigger picture and getting things done. We have partnered on various People projects and have always found her very accountable for her work and ready to jump on new topics. I will definitely miss her as a sparring partner, colleague, human being :).
Carolina Veiga (she/her)
Emma is one of the most talented and inspiring colleagues I worked with. She tackles every situation with a problem solving mindset and will try to find a solution that benefits everyone, while keeping the business goals in mind. She's always up to date with business/HR trends and can easily apply them to the day-to-day work. Emma is energetic, loyal and very committed to her work and her colleagues. Hopefully we can work together again in the future!
